In case you missed it: INL’s Transient Reactor Test (TREAT) Facility's latest upgrade allows the system to read a much more detailed set of instructions, resulting in a power history so specific, that in this test, they were able outline the shape of Idaho and the Teton mountain range! ⛰️📈 The instructions guide the reactor to either increase, sustain or decrease power levels to the test reactor. This example was used to demonstrate the precise inputs they can instruct the reactor to follow for
