The U has a 100kW reactor TRIGA reactor. It's at the western side of the Merrill Engineering Building (as well as decommissioned 1 or 5 Watt (IIRC) reactor from the ~50s that migrated over there from physics building at one point). The reactor was not particularly common knowledge in mid-2000s, even among engineering students. It became a bit more common knowledge later for various reasons (apparently it was in the news now when I tried to google the 1/2 watt reactor - so I couldn't find much on that now)
