UB will hold an information session about its plans to demolish the Buffalo Materials Research Center, its former nuclear research reactor, at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 6 in Allen Hall, South Campus.

The South Campus facility has not been in operation since 1994; its radioactive fuel has been completely removed. UB has received permission from federal and state authorities to take down the building that housed the reactor and return the site to a green field.

David Vasbinder, UB associate director of environment, health and safety services, will explain the project and answer questions from the public. Other university staff members and representatives from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission also will be on hand to answer any questions.

Members of the community, as well as faculty, staff, students and all other interested persons, are encouraged to attend.

Reservations are not required; no permit is needed to park in university lots after 3 p.m.
