Molten-Salt Research Reactor site tightens
Molten-Salt Research Reactor site tightens security in preparation for NRC licensing approval of their advanced nuclear reactor design. Rusty Towell allowed my camera into the reactor bay before the tour... everyone was allowed to visit, but cameras will now be much harder to get inside the reactor bay.
Soon the site will be locked-down... yet it is an incredibly transparent layout, with visitors able to look in on the bay and (through a door window) the control room.
My questions for Rusty very non-technical. Abilene Christian University has quite the project on its hands, and I was wondering how a university hosts an Advanced Reactor... of all things.
This video is a companion piece to Rusty Towell (NEXT Lab) and Douglass Robison (Natura Resources) presentation at TEAC12: Molten Salt Research Reactor - Rusty ... ...in that presentation more technical questions are asked and answered.
At this point, I'm more interested in how public and accessible a nuclear reactor can be, as opposed to power ratings and operating temperature. I'm trying to fathom what it means to use this NRC licensing path... it feels like ACU has "hacked" NRC regulations? Is this a regulatory exploit?
Very exciting. A fantastic opportunity to have Rusty show me around, and take questions on such a busy day. This tour is much appreciated.
