Diagram and specifications for the reactor.[1]

Molten chloride salt fast reactor (MCSFR)[2] is a Molten Salt Reactor[3] using fast neutrons.[4][5] Fast neutron reactors are capable of burning spent nuclear fuel and bomb cores. This article should address the issues raised in the parent article Nuclear power reconsidered.
