Moltex Energy talks a lot about that. It is actually pretty nice, some things stay in the salt, some leave it. The most dangerous stuff that shows up in the news a big scary cloud coming over from Japan to the US would still be in the salt.
Some other things that you really don't in your fuel, like Xenon and Krypton will bubble out.
So I think overall it is an advantage.
