Description

1955: Geneva Reactor

Geneva Reactor receives international exposure.

ORNL constructs the Geneva Reactor for the first International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy. It becomes the prototype for future "swimming pool" reactors fueled with low-enriched uranium. President Eisenhower inspects it during the conference, and US television networks air highlights. After the conference, the reactor is sold to the Swiss government, moved to Würenlingen, and named SAPHIR for its blue glow. It operates until 1994.
