- grzm 9y agoThere's a paper dated 1962 entitled "Remote Maintenance of the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment": https://www.osti.gov/scitech/biblio/4780507-remote-maintenance-molten-salt-reactor-experiment https://www.osti.gov/scitech/biblio/4780507-remote-maintenan... Another related reference is Oak Ridge National Laboratory Review from Fall 1968, which includes the piece "MSRE into MSBR? The Hopes for ORNL's Molten Salt Reactor",† which includes descriptions of remote maintenance aspects. https://www.ornl.gov/sites/default/files/ORNL%20Review%20v2n2%201968.pdf https://www.ornl.gov/sites/default/files/ORNL%20Review%20v2n... † Early Betteridge?
- grzm 9y agoThere was a film entitled "The Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment" produced in 1969 [0]. Some staff (including the writer-director and cameraman)[1], titling, and some shots are the same (though the end credits of the look more modern). I wouldn't be surprised if they made both films concurrently, though the maintenance film might be later. Does HN support (c1969)?
