Set in the not-too-distant future, “The Martian” is the story of an astronaut stranded on Mars who has to rely on his own wit and ingenuity to survive the planet’s hostile conditions. If Mark Watney’s mission were real, Oak Ridge National Laboratory would be playing a vital role in his survival, as it would be the sole source of the Plutonium-238 needed for the RTG, as well as the fuel’s containment material in the form of iridium clad vent sets.
