Abstract
Abstract Located in Columbia, Missouri; U.S.A., MURR is a 10 MW research reactor operated by the University of Missouri-Columbia. It is the highest power research reactor on a university campus in the United States. Eight MTRtype fuel elements form the 28 cm diameter × 61 cm tall core which has a 6.2 Kg loading of 23sU and undergoes a 20–24% bumup during its 1200 MW-day life. The reactor is beryllium reflected, light water moderated and cooled, and at the center of the core is a neutron flux trap with peak flux of 6 × 1014 n/cm2sec. In addition to the flux-trap irradiation positions, graphite wedges surrounding the beryllium reflector contain numerous irradiation facilities. The six neutron beams have source fluxes of 1.2 × 1014 n/cm2sec.
