On teaching experimental reactor physics in times of pandemic

The COVID-19 induced restrictions have prevented reactor physics students from attending in-person exercises which are a vital part of their education. Jožef Stefan Institute has organized remote with the help off-the-shelf technology, including multiple videoconferencing setups, desktop software, portable cameras, dome camera, shared spreadsheets, and common whiteboard. were encouraged to actively participate in by giving instructions operator, asking answering questions, logging data, operating digital acquisition systems, performing analysis during exercise. first as five-day course experimental for Uppsala University. feedback was collected after using an anonymous online form generally positive but revealed some problems sound quality resolved later. can also organize full lockdown when is not able operate in-house developed Research Reactor Simulator based on point kinetics approximation simple thermohydraulic module.
