For instance in molten salt reactor low pressure liquid serves both as fuel and as coolant.

There is still a very big future for thorium power - possibly even from molten salt reactors.

All molten salt reactors using liquid fuels.

LFTRs are a particular class of molten salt reactor that includes several design variations.

Like all molten salt reactors, its core is chemically inert, under low pressures to prevent explosions and toxic releases.

The way to avoid that is the molten salt reactor, which adds complexity.

However, thorium in a molten salt reactor has been touted as a more practical alternative to uranium.

Zirconium fluoride in a mixture with other fluorides is a coolant for molten salt reactors.

It should be possible to construct and operate molten salt reactors more cheaply than coal power plants.

The molten salt reactor offers many potential advantages compared to current light water reactors:
