- technological issues mainly -

Keywords:molten salt reactor, molten salt nuclear reactor, Nuclear Reactor Design, liquid nuclear fuel, Fluoride nuclear fuel, Chloride nuclear fuel, fast neutron reactor

Molten Salt Reactor was developed and operate in 1960th. Performance of MSR is thought to be safe as no melt-down, high neutron efficiency, and so on. However, since then half century has passed and it has not been reconstructed and/or deployed. We discuss the reasoning of this history mainly about techological concerns and issues. We hope we can have active discussion on this question among specialists of several aspectss of nuclear engineering.
