Has the equipment that handles molten salt inside a closed loop been proven? Pumps, valves, heat exchangers, instrumentation?
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.

Isn’t the point that, if it DOES fail it will drain away into the holding tank. Not do something spectacularly explosive and polluting.
