After a discussion on the general features and systems of the reactor, reactor operation procedures and operating limits, students operate the reactor on their own. During operation, students observe the signals from the reactor instrumentation, i.e. the source range meter, linear channel, period meter and indicators of control rod positions. Each student performs a sequence in which the reactor is started up and stabilized at a low power level, the power level is then changed to a higher power level, and finally the reactor is shut down. No measurements are taken.
