Fast Flux Test Facility

This reactor at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation was built in 1982 for breeder reactor research and enriched uranium production. Though it was closed in 1992, it has been placed on "Hot Standby" status, with the possibility of producing tritium and medical isotopes for cancer treatment. It is in the 400 Area of Hanford, outside the restricted contaminated area that lies beyond the Wye Barricade.
