Federal nuclear power regulators have given the go-ahead for the first research nuclear reactor in more than 40 years, and it’s here in Texas . Abilene Christian University will be home to the advanced nuclear reactor, which the university’s NEXT Lab and Abilene-based nuclear startup Natura Resources will build on campus.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has given initial construction approval to one other molten-salt reactor, a Kairos Power facility in Albuquerque, N.M. ACU’s reactor will use liquid fuel — uranium dissolved in molten salt — compared with the Kairos’ planned use of solid uranium. ACU is not the first Texas college with a nuclear facility. The University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M have on-campus nuclear reactors.
