The Sidney Kimmel Institute for Nuclear Renaissance (SKINR) conducted sophisticated LENR research at its location at the University of Missouri (MU) in Columbia. It originated as Energetics Technologies (ET), located in Israel, which had demonstrated success in achieving LENR. The MU Vice President of Research, Dr. Rob Duncan, arranged for the transfer from Israel to the U.S. with Sidney Kimmel, who had funded ET – and continued to fund SKINR. The transfer took place after Dr. Duncan was commissioned by CBS News to do an independent evaluation of ET and its LENR research. His affirmative findings were reported in CBS News’ “60 Minutes” program in April 2009. Many of the staff and lab assets were transferred to MOU first as an on-campus independent research entity and subsequently as a part of the University structure.

The main MU participants in the SKINR LENR Research Documentation Project were Drs. Dennis Pease, Arik El-Boher, and Graham Hubler. Dr. Pease and Dr. El-Boher had been on staff at SKINR (Dr. El-Boher came from ET during the transition), and Dr. Hubler was the Executive Director after Dr. Duncan departed MU for Texas Tech University. Although SKINR had discontinued operations before the project began, several trips were made to Columbia to gather information and conduct interviews with the participants.
