X-10 Graphite Reactor X-10 Graphite Reactor The X-10 Graphite Reactor at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, formerly known as the Clinton Pile and X-10 Pile, was the world's second artificial nuclear reactor (after Enrico Fermi's Chicago Pile-1), and the first designed and built for continuous operation. It was built during World War II as part of the Manhattan Project. While Chicago Pile-1 demonstrated the feasibility of nuclear reactors, the Manhattan Project's goal of producing enough plutonium for atomic bombs required reactors a thousand times as powerful, along with facilities to chemically separate the plutonium bred in the reactors from uranium
R4 nuclear reactor the pressure vessel and containment building were subsequently used for experiments into reactor behaviour under accident conditions. The Nuclear reactor, the oil fired power station and surronding 250 hectares of land and water was acquired by Synthesis Real Estate during 2018. This reactor was built as part of the budding nuclear program for Sweden. This reactor's construction began some time during the Cold War(presumably the 1960s). The large facility was intended to bring power as well as provide plutonium for this upcoming nuclear program. Though, the construction ended in the 1960s, when the nuclear ambition of Sweden was killed. Part
