The concept of using molten salts as both a coolant and fuel carrier dates back to the 1950s, with the pioneering work of Alvin Weinberg and his team at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). In 1965, ORNL successfully operated the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment (MSRE), a proof-of-concept reactor that demonstrated the technology's feasibility and inherent safety features. The MSRE achieved remarkable results, operating for four years from January 1965 through December 1969, and logging more than 13,000 hours at full power during that time. The trial showcased the MSR's ability to operate at high temperatures with excellent thermal efficiency, its inherent safety characteristics due to the low-pressure liquid fuel, and its potential for online refueling and fission product removal. Additionally, the MSRE demonstrated the ability to breed fissile material from thorium, a more abundant and readily available resource than uranium. Despite its success, the molten salt program ended in 1973,
