We just need to take a long, hard look at which achieves our objectives with a balance of safety, reliability, and ease of execution.It's that last one that's the sticker. Molten salt (esp around 1400 C) corrodes metal like crazy, so developing a system to pump that around is a fairly difficult engineering challenge. Quite simply, it hasn't been done outside of a lab yet.
