Very interesting concept. I still think the molten salt reactor (MSR) approach is better because it completely avoids the need for manufacturing and shipping fuel rods around the country. The fission products can be continuously removed by chemical means and don’t require handling of enriched U235 fuel which improves the safety of the entire system.

IIRC it was molten salt problems that killed the massive solar collector?

And why is that a problem?
