Raymond L. Murray
Dr. Raymond L. Murray received his first degree in science education at the University of Nebraska, where he also took a master’s degree in physics. His doctorate was from the University of Tennessee. During World War II, he contributed to uranium isotope separation research and production at Berkeley and Oak Ridge. He has been a faculty member at North Carolina State University since 1950, assisting in the establishment of the first nuclear engineering curriculum and the first university nuclear reactor. He served as Burlington Professor of Physics, as head of the nuclear engineering department for 11 years, and currently is Professor Emeritus. He has published a number of research papers on reactor theory and design analysis, has written textbooks in nuclear engineering and basic physics, and serves as a consultant to industry on reactor design and nuclear safety. He has been a member and chairman of the North Carolina Radiation Protection Commission. His current studies involve nuclear reactor analysis related to the Three Mile Island-2 recovery and to uranium resource extension, the application of microcomputers to nuclear problems, and public information on nuclear energy, especially radioactive waste management.
