The University of Missouri-Rolla Reactor (UMRR) is a thermal reactor licensed for a 200-kW(thermal) steady-state power. Heat generated in the reactor core is transferred to the surrounding pool by natural convection. The maximum thermal neutron flux is 5 {times} 10{sup 12} n/cm{sup 2}{center dot}s. There are three principal irradiation facilities: a pneumatic tube system for a rapid sample transfer, a graphite thermal column, and a beam tube. The facility is operated daily (except on the weekends) by professional staff. Its primary mission includes education, research, service, and training.
