MURR becomes only gadolinium-153 producer in the U.S.
The University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) has commenced production of gadolinium-153, a radioisotope used in medical imaging applications, as announced by the Department of Energy’s Office of Isotope R&D Production (IRP) and the university earlier this week. That makes MURR the only domestic supplier of Gd-153 and one of two suppliers in the world.

A computer model of the existing and possible new USAEC gaseous diffusion plants (GDP) has been developed. The model has been combined with a nonlinear optimization method which permits optimum long range operating Plans to be generated. A description of the model is presented with examples of its use in simulation and in generation of optimal long range plans.
