The Missouri University of Science and Technology Nuclear Reactor (MSTR or Missouri S&TR) is a swimming pool type nuclear reactor operated by the Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T). It first achieved criticality in 1961, making it the first operational nuclear reactor in the state of Missouri.[2] Missouri S&T operates this reactor for training, education, and research purposes.

According to the 2020–2021 Annual Progress Report submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, MSTR was in use for 1,122.4 hours, including 228.4 hours while operating, and produced 13,563.19 kilowatt-hours of thermal energy.[3]
