The research facility’s purpose is to give the industry a space to test next-gen nuclear theories.


Over 60 years ago, ORNL proved that the concept worked when it ran the world’s first molten salt reactor.


Extreme heat is a necessity for next-generation nuclear reactors, and finding the right sensors to withstand it is crucial.
