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.

An analytic method has been developed for the solution of the two-group diffusion equations in a two-dimensional fully reflected reactor. The particular reactor configuration studied is a rectangular core surrounded by a rectilinear reflector, that is, a rectangle within a symmetrically located rectangle. The method involves expansions of each of the fluxes in a double series of eigen-functions valid over the entire reactor.
