; ;

The University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) is enhancing the research, education, and service capabilities of the facility through a five-part upgrade. The existing reactor is a 10-MW pressurized loop type, already operating at a 92% availability to support demand from researchers and the industry. The upgrade is focused to meet the increasing demand for more neutrons and higher specific activity radioisotopes, especially for the biomedical community, cold neutrons, and expanded laboratory and office space. The upgrade includes an extended-life fuel element, a power increase, instrument and control and electrical system upgrade, a cold neutron source (CNS), and a building addition.
