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.

A very corrosive environment with zero tolerance for failure. The equipment has been proven, just not in a good way. Looks good on paper though.

I agree, as a strong advocate of nuclear energy, it just can’t compete....
