NextGen MURR to partner with Burns & McDonnell
The University of Missouri has entered a consulting agreement with construction firm Burns & McDonnell to develop NextGen MURR, a new 20-MW light water research reactor that will produce medical isotopes for cancer treatments and theranostics and will be used to conduct neutron science research.

Since the last international tritium conference in 1995 the US continues its active interest in better understanding tritium and in using it safely and efficiently. US governmental tritium interests center around five major activities: 1) inertial confinement fusion, 2) fusion energy sciences (both magnetic and inertial), 3) tritium facility decontamination and decommissioning, 4) tritium production and 5) national defense applications. While the US interests have, roughly speaking, stayed the same, there have been significant changes in the US tritium community. There have been shifts in program emphases and changes in US tritium facilities with certain facilities either shutdown or being shutdown, and with new facilities under construction. This paper will provide an-overview of the US tritium activities and associated facilities.
