The unique capabilities of the molten salt pump
The unique capabilities of the molten salt pump include:
1.Destruction of long-lived radionuclides without the need to fabricate solid fuels
2.A wider choice of fuel cycles without major changes in the reactor design
3.Very low fissile fuel inventory relative to other reactor concepts that may create alternative safeguards strategies
4.Full passive safety in very large reactors with associated economics of scale
5.Limiting the radioactivity in the reactor core by on-line removal and solidification of the mobile fission products
6.Limited excess reactivity requirements in the core due to on-line fuel management.
