In Oak Ridge, Tennessee, a new chapter in nuclear energy might be on the horizon. Kairos Power, backed by Google, is looking to reintroduce molten salt reactors to the area over 60 years after their initial demonstrations. This innovative technology could reshape the future of energy production, promising a cleaner and more efficient alternative. As the world seeks sustainable solutions, the revival of these reactors could play a crucial role in meeting energy demands while reducing environmental impact.
