Freemelt has received an order for a Freemelt ONE system from the Institute for Nuclear Research (ATOMKI) in Hungary to be used for research in nuclear material science. The order value is approximately SEK 4.6 with expected delivery in the third quarter of 2023. Nuclear power has gained increased interest and traction to reduce carbon emissions.

Further, increased use of solar and wind power has highlighted the need for stable base power such as nuclear power to make the energy system efficient. Freemelt ONE is particularly suited for high temperature materials commonly found in fusion and fission reactors. For example, one of the core materials for Freemelt is tungsten that can withstand extreme temperatures and is suitable for radiation shielding.

The Freemelt ONE machine is optimized for materials research to introduce new materials and products in industrial applications faster. The Institute for Nuclear Research, Hungarian Academy of Sciences (MTA Atomki) is one of the leading facilities in the field of atomic and nuclear physics in Hungary. The fact that the Freemelt ONE machine includes a periscope function makes it possible to monitor the process by looking into the machine while a component is being produced, a feature enabled by the unique Freemelt technology.
