We’ll learn more details Saturday morning about the University of Missouri’s ceremonial agreement to partner with a consortium to build a new 20-megawatt state-of-the-art research reactor near south Columbia’s Discovery Ridge.
The new reactor will be known as NextGen MURR. UM System President Dr. Mun Choi will join host Fred Parry in-studio for the hour Saturday morning at 7 on 939 the Eagle’s “CEO Roundtable” program. The project is expected to build on the current MURR at Mizzou, which is the only U.S. producer of four medical isotopes used in treatments for liver, thyroid, pancreatic and prostate cancer.
President Choi will also update listeners on last fall’s record freshman class and how successful Mizzou has been in retaining these students. He’ll also update listeners on the $250-million Memorial Stadium construction project at Mizzou.
