Molten salt reactors will produce far less long-lived radioactive waste than conventional (LWR) reactors. Molten salt reactors are also much cheaper to build than conventional (LWR) reactors. Proponents of molten salt reactors expect that electric power from MSR nuclear plants will actually be cheaper than electric power from coal-burning power plants. If MSR power really does prove to be cheaper than coal power, all of our future power plants should be MSR nuclear plants. “The Resurrection of the Molten Salt Nuclear Reactor,” a presentation by nuclear scientist Dr Alan Rice https://www.msr-rice.com/5d0a1faee238c/the-resurrection-of-the-molten-salt-nuclear-reactor6.
