Kairos Power Molten-Salt Reactor Project

under construction

Kairos Power is a privately held nuclear company attempting to commercialize the fluoride salt-cooled high-temperature reactor originally designed by Forsberg, Pickard, and Peterson. The project involves building a vertically integrated network of facilities to fabricate fuel and salt and manufacture reactor components. Construction of the reactor building in Oak Ridge began last year, with plans to have the reactor operational within the decade.
