Can you teach me more about the radiation properties of molten salts? Didnt know molten salt is immune to radiation, why would that be? Thats cool, though.

The ions are all just single atoms with more or fewer electrons than the neutral versions of those elements. The atoms can be ionized by radiation, but the resulting weird oxidation states just fall back to chemical equilibrium as the electrons redistribute.
