There are a lot of technical problems related to online processing of the fuel, the reactivity of salts at high temperatures with metals, etc.<p>It&#x27;s a matter of research and development, it can be done, if we devote enough resources to get across the finish line.

It never made much sense. Thorium wasn&#x27;t solving the problem (cost) that was holding back nuclear energy.
