    Yeah great point, I also read that molten salt is safer than water coolant because it turns solid when the reaction stops. So, you don’t have to worry about it leaking into the soil and contaminating the environment.

      Even better, it means that you can abandon the reactor and it will not produce a melt down. It is inherently safe.
