Summary[edit]

Description

1965: Molten Salt Reactor Experiment

Nobel Laureate and Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Glenn Seaborg operates the controls of the Molten Salt Reactor on October 8, 1968.

With the Aircraft Reactor Experiment showing the feasibility of molten salt fuel, the Atomic Energy Commission funds the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE) to demonstrate key elements needed for a civilian power reactor. The MSRE goes critical using uranium-235 on June 1. On October 2, 1968, MSRE becomes the first reactor to operate using uranium-233. Although the reactor shuts down in December 1969, renewed interest in the technology resurfaces over 40 years later.
