This film was produced in 1969 by Oak Ridge National Laboratory for the United States Atomic Energy Commission to inform the public regarding the history, technology, and milestones of the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE). Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Molten Salt Reactor Experiment was designed to assess the viability of liquid fuel reactor technologies for use in commercial power generation. It operated from January 1965 through December 1969, logging more than 13,000 hours at full power during its four-year run. The MSRE was designated a nuclear historic landmark in 1994.

Thanks to Y-12 for the collection, preservation and digitization of this and other historic films.

The sad part is these animations hold up better than post-modern Disneg!? This was made in the 1960s? It means WW2 vets worked on it and some NAZIs thanks to Operation Paperclip.

Well, obviously we could not use it: It was not disastrous enough to warrant scaring the citizens into slavery...

Keep in mind it did WORK but HALLIBURTON bought up and sold the nuclear components it would have bankrupted the company once this was off the ground only a handful of men are still alive who worked on the original project and 1 of them said it worked.

So.... Atlas Shrugged was based on reality then... Now, if we could get that technology and abandon the US to its fate, find an island and build it up with this... and farms, you know the Dutch are teller farmers not to farm. Guess who are among the most successful farmers historically? The Dutch. Got land?
