As shown towards the left, the reactor contains --fuel salt--, which is fuel (such as uranium-235) dissolved in a mixture of molten fluoride salts. After a fission chain reaction starts in the reactor, the rate of fission stabilizes once the fuel salt reaches around 700 degrees Celcius.Mar 15, 2017
