“The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has granted Abilene Christian University (ACU) the construction permit for an advanced nuclear reactor called the Natura MSR-1.

This is the first liquid salt-fueled reactor ever licensed by the NRC and the first university research reactor approved in the US in over 30 years.

The Natura MSR-1, a 1-megawatt thermal molten salt reactor system developed in association with Natura Resources, will be used for the first time at ACU’s molten salt research reactor.”
