Kairos Power breaks ground on first power-producing reactor in Oak Ridge
On April 17, Kairos Power broke ground on its Hermes 2 demonstration plant in Oak Ridge, Tenn, for which it received test reactor construction permits from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in November 2024. Kairos expects Hermes 2 to begin operations by 2030, when the fluoride salt–cooled high temperature reactor could become the first NRC-licensed non–light water reactor to produce power.
