  I should add this to the page linked, but another excellent resource to kind of help answer your question is the paper the Oak Ridge National Lab folks put together as they lost funding for the molten salt breeder reactor program in the early 1970s: ORNL-5018 -- Program plan for development of molten-salt breeder reactors[1]. This basically is them saying: "ok folks, we're wrapping up for now but when you inevitably pick up this work, here's what you have in front of you." Though a lot of time has passed since it was written, it's still largely relevant. [1] https://www.osti.gov/biblio/4227904 https://www.osti.gov/biblio/4227904
