Subject:
Notification of NIST Award 60NANB23D160 NEPA CATEX To whom it may concern, The University of Missouri was awarded a National Institute of Science and Technology
{NIST) Financial Assistance Award {Reference Award Number 60NANB23D160) to support the initial project planning and design efforts for the NextGen MURR initiative. The NextGen MURR initiative is focused on pursuit of a new research reactor at the University of Missouri to support state-of-the-art research and radioisotope production, building upon the operational experience of the University of Missouri Research Reactor {MURR).
As part of the NIST award, a National Environmental Policy Action {NEPA) Categorical Exclusion {CATEX) was issued. The grant requires that we notify the NRC of the scope of the NIST award and the associated CATEX issuance by NIST. This letter fulfills that requirement, and includes a copy of the NIST Award and CATEX as attachments.
The NIST Federal Program Officer is copied on this communication as stipulated in the NIST award requirements and will schedule a meeting with the NRC and the NIST Federal Program Officer to facilitate sharing of project information.
If you have any questions regarding the NIST award or the NEPA CATEX, please contact myself or Michael Hoehn, the NextGen MURR Program Director.
