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.

Electromagnetic effects were among the critical issues of the impurity control system examined in the 1982 FED/INTOR design study. During a plasma disruption, the decaying plasma current induces voltages and currents in the first wall and limiter systems which can produce arcing between limiter segments and large forces and torques on the limiter. The effects of first wall time constant, limiter electrical resistance, and limiter segmentation on the voltages, forces, and torques were studied.
