Molten Salt Reactor

becoming a single-issue yimby for building molten salt reactors

this will solve climate change, I assume

Pros:

  • Fixes basically every problem with existing nuclear reactors
  • Will solve climate change
  • Is named "molten salt reactor"

Cons:

It's fiiiiine
You put a fluorine-containing salt on your teeth at least daily
(I will not entertain any comments about "reactivity" or "dose quantity" as chemistry is clearly just what happens when otherwise perfectly fine matter gets up to mischief)

Look if we can build the hoover dam I'm sure we can contain a little bit of high temperature radioactive salt, these are probably basically definitely just isomorphic engineering challenges, yeah?
