Visitors
The MUTR is available for scheduled tours Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM; in certain cases, we may accept tour requests outside of these hours for educational purposes. Tours of the reactor facility are free and by appointment only. You can request a tour by filling out our Tour Request Form at least two weeks in advance of the desired date. Groups are limited to 12 people, but in some cases we may be able to accomodate 2 groups simultaneously. Children are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult. Tours can last up to 1 hour, or take as little time as you need. As your tour guides are either reactor operators, senior reactor operators, or reactor operator trainees, a variety of information can be presented and tailored to the needs of your group.
Researchers, maintenance personnel, and others requiring access to the facilities can contact us at radiation@umd.edu. You will need to be escorted during your visit.
