Reactor Housing

The ALMR reactor modules themselves are located beneath ground level. In fact, the only distinguishing characteristic that identifies the ground as being a reactor site are the four RVACS stacks rising from the ground. This low profile will hopefully improve public opinion about nuclear reactors. They expect the old proverb, "Out of sight, out of mind," to apply.

Even though the reactor is below grade, it still has a fully secure containment and the unusual stacks denote a unique feature of this reactor.
