And since Trump got elected we’ve got plenty of surplus salt.

A non pressured reactor that can be turned on and off is a great safety step forward! My only issue is salt corrosion with pipe fluid mechanics hasn't really been long term evaluated. The salt would be at near 700 degrees, while also having a need for radiation shielding, the pumps would have to be badass tony stark shit, as the cold salt will be similar to cooling concrete.
