| Summary: | This paper intends to present the current status of the education and training program of BAEC TRIGA Research Reactor (BTRR) as well as the prospect of Virtual Reactor Laboratory (VRL) as a tool to impart training and education. VRL has been proposed based on BTRR and its feasibility with regard to imparting training and education programs of research reactor has been assessed. As education and training are key utilizations of BTRR, this VRL will widen the scope of harnessing maximum benefits out of such utilizations. Since nuclear security is a paramount concern, aspects of cyber security has been considered in the proposed VRL. In order to maintain a high degree of privacy of the BTRR facility, different levels of cyber security have been embedded along with the VRL to control the unknown access to the system. VRL can provide an impetus in developing skilled workforce for Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant (RNPP), other proposed nuclear power plants, nuclear installations and broaden the outlook of teachers, students and researchers in nuclear science and technology through distant learning method.
