The world's most important university research reactor for fighting cancer.

We'll Show You How.

MURR By The Numbers

1.6 million

cancer and cardiac patients were treated last year with radioisotopes produced at MURR.

95%

of thyroid cancer patients are cured after using radioisotopes. Liver, prostate and pancreatic cancer patients have a better quality of life and live longer with radioisotope treatment.

57 years

of safe, innovative history. Operating 24 hours a day, 6.5 days a week, 52 weeks a year — MURR is the most powerful university research reactor in the U.S., working at 10 megawatts.

Tiny atoms, big impact

A Vital Resource

MURR offers a wide range of nuclear products and services to a global community, including custom and off-the-shelf products, research and medical grade isotopes and radiochemicals, and analytical and neutron irradiation services.

Saving and improving lives
