screw your nuclear power..... natural gas baby.....
Yup. This and the T-33 T-Bird always made the walk to the stadium just a little bit more awesome to take in.

I believe that is 2 reactors. 1 is the 1mw reactor at the Bryan campus and the other is a micro reactor on main campus.

Mizzou’s boilers and steam turbines can do 66MW.
The nuclear reactor is for research and isotopes.
The power complex provides 100 % of UT's electricity and heating, satisfying the cooling requirements for over 24 million square feet in more than 240 campus buildings, serving 79,000 faculty, students, and staff. The single largest electrical load on the main campus is the cooling system that can provide 60,600 tons (38,000 tons peak) of chilled water to the campus.
To recognize the obvious, UT is in the middle of 2+ MM people, while Columbia, MO is 100+ miles from any significant population center.

Missouri also has an NBC affiliate on its campus. It is the only university-owned commercial television station and major network affiliate in the United States that uses its newsroom as a working lab for students. This station also show high school football games & highlights of high school football players that Missouri is recruiting. Mizzou left the Big 12 because it was worried the LHN would show high school football games and highlights (which never happened) all the while it had its own tv station doing that for decades.
I'm glad this double posted. That way I was able to downvote it twice.

My takeaway is that even with TWO reactors, TAMU is behind Texas' single reactor.

Someone once pointed out of a classroom window and asked, "What's that over there?" I popped off with something like "That's where all the green energy is produced to power this place" and got some pretty nasty looks. Probably didn't help that the room was full of senior administrators/staff.

Yup. Something like 95% of all the world's radioactive pharmaceuticals are irradiated at Mizzou's reactor.

Yup, but we have a trump card. We have our hands in with the Los Alamos National Laboratory along with Cal Berkeley. Not exactly two universities you would think would cooperate with each other.

And we are in the process of finalizing funding/appropriations for an additional 20mW reactor

mW or MW? Big difference.

Sorry…autocorrect. 20 megawatts

Um...WTF ...or maybe i'm ok with this thread...or ...WTF i must be drunk.
Y'all carry on.
Fuk it.

A&M's total is like the guy who bids $1 over someone who is a midrange bid on The Price is Right.

Funny, I missed the notation on the bottom of OP's graphic that says A&M's total is their two reactors combined.

Wasn't meant as a dig on A&M. If you look at the chart, #23 (tied) apparently both have a reactor the same size as A&M's small one.
And they should all be proud of those reactors.
Just looked funny on the list.

Oh, I didnt take it as a sleight. I just knew we had two on campus and one was a wee little reactor.
I have stared down from the top of the reactor into the heavy water pool of the wee one way back in like 1986.

Correct. The 2nd reactor though won’t be online before the end of the decade.
As far as Mizzou’s current reactor…
“The reactor is currently the only producer in the USA of the medical isotopes yttrium-90, used for the treatment of liver cancer; molybdenum-99, for analysis of heart functions; iodine-131, used for treatment of thyroid cancer; and lutetium-177, used for treatment of pancreatic and prostate cancers.
According to the university, more than 1.6 million patients a year are diagnosed or treated using radioisotopes that MURR produces. MURR NextGen will build on the internationally recognised excellence of MURR and expand the university's isotope production capabilities, it said.
"The work that we do at MURR saves and improves thousands of lives each and every day," said Mun Choi, University of Missouri president. "NextGen MURR will produce advanced cancer medicines for the next 75 years and solidify the University of Missouri's position as the most important resource for medical isotopes in the United States."

That is impressive. By the way...the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) in Oak Ridge is operated by UT-Battelle (a joint venture between the University of Tennessee and Battelle Laboratories). So...85 Megawatts says "hi". Oh...they have a linear accelerator as well (Spallation Neutron Source).
