Can the Molten Salt Reactor Break Through?
One already did. It was named Ferni and it was near Detroit.

Has the equipment that handles molten salt inside a closed loop been proven? Pumps, valves, heat exchangers, instrumentation?
With natural gas at $3 (MCF) and 50% efficient combined cycle, I don’t think nuclear anything is going anywhere.

The Fermi reactor near Detriot was not a Molten Salt Reactor. It was a Fast Breeder Reactor. Different concepts.

Fermi wasn’t the same type. It was cooled by salt (sodium), but it was a fast breeder. The fuel wasn’t mixed into the salt . This design is very different.
