Molten Salt Reactors

Molten Salt Reactors is a class of nuclear fission reactor in which the primary coolant and often the fuel itself are in the form of a molten salt mixture, distinguishing it from solid-fueled reactors by enabling high-temperature operation, enhanced safety through low-pressure conditions, and the potential for efficient fuel utilization and actinide burning.
