Why 1960s Nuclear Tech Is Suddenly Essential Now

No, the reality is a lot of these technologies were developed back in the late 50s and early 60s, and they just weren't needed at the time for power generation. And so what we're doing is grabbing a technology that was successfully demonstrated in the 1960s at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, a liquid-fueled molten salt reactor, and bringing that 60 years into the future and doing that in a way that we can start small, demonstrate successful licensure with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, whose primary concern is safety, show that we can license that technology with the NRC and moving to actually building a reactor. And so we're actively moving forward with a project in Abilene where our technology is one of three technologies. that's actually been approved for construction by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and are actively moving forward in building a reactor so that we can then scale into commercial systems that meet some of those big energy needs that we're
