    The core of the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment. In 1950 the Oak Ridge School of Reactor Technology was established with two courses in reactor operation and safety; almost 1,000 students graduated. [22] Much of the research performed at ORNL in the 1950s was related to nuclear reactors as a form of energy production, both for propulsion and ...
