Ameren Missouri was to apply to license up five of the 225-megawatt reactors at the Callaway site, more than doubling its current electrical output. [17] In August 2015, a month after Ameren had announced plans to build solar energy plants in Missouri, [18] all plans to expand nuclear-powered electricity generation at the site were scrapped. [19]
The basis for the reactor's design was based on the Bulk Shielding Reactor at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and MSTR attained initial criticality on December 9, 1961, becoming the first operating nuclear reactor in the State of Missouri. [3] The initial licensed power was 10 kW and was uprated to 200 kW in 1966.
The University of Missouri Research Reactor Center (MURR) is home to a tank-type nuclear research reactor that serves the University of Missouri in Columbia, United States. As of March 2012 [update] , the MURR is the highest-power university research reactor in the U.S. at 10 megawatt thermal output.
According to the Sierra Club, as of 2016 there were a total of 16 coal-fired power plants in Missouri, a decrease from 2012, when there were 23. [5] A Missouri City coal-fired power plant operated by Independence Power & Light closed in 2015; the facility was aging (60 years old) and could not comply with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency pollution regulations.

English: Nuclear reactor: pressurized water type. Water is heated through the splitting of uranium atoms in the reactor core. The water, held under high pressure to keep it from boiling, produces steam by transferring heat to a secondary source of water. The steam is used to generate electricity.
