This manual dictates what a maintenance budget is. On Jan 16th we passed maintenance budgets that did not comply with this manual. On Feb 2nd we passed 14 budgets correcting the error. Additions to those budgets may still need to be voted on. Lots of false rumors out there.

ONE-OF-A-KIND: @ORNL's Molten Salt Reactor Experiment tested the potential use of liquid fuel reactor technologies for commercial power generation. It operated from 1965 to 1969 and logged more than 13,000 hours of valuable data that is used today to support MSR development.

FACT: More than 90% of the potential energy still remains in spent nuclear fuel. Some advanced reactors under development could consume or even run on this fuel in the future. ♻️ Learn more: bit.ly/2YMikTk
