Well the cladding is radioactive but to a far lesser degree then the fuel itself. Its waste but lower level waste as it doesn't contain the most long lived elements. I mean, they will be their anyway, so your not creating more waste buy having the old rods. Also, most molten salt reactors wouldn't use fuel rod. And the ones that do would be different compared to those in PWR so reuse is unlikely. Edit: See here https://youtu.be/TvXcoSdXYlk?t=1828 https://youtu.be/TvXcoSdXYlk?t=1828
