   Reed’s licensed reactor operators are also unique in that men are a minority. On my visit, Reed students boasted that their reactor operators include more women, and more gender non-conforming people, than at all other research reactors in the US combined. Thanks to Reed’s reactor operators, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) no longer questions anyone who wants to change their names from one gender to another on their licences.

     To be fair, if I were selecting which university to go to - either today or back when I was a student making said selection - “Will let me operate their nuclear reactor” would be a ranking criterion which would catapult any university to the top of my list
