Molten Salt Reactor

[Ranah]

Just finished my petroleum boiler and it made me think about how I would like a similar player designed structures for nuclear power.

Molten Salt Reactor

• Fuel is a Composite made of Molten Salt and Enriched Uranium.
• For the making of the Composite you might need some kind of mixer or centrifuge, this would also allow for the creation of other composites like Mud(and future others)
• Something needs to start the reaction, two ways I can think is either by heat or by Radbolts maybe both? 
• Absorption of a certain level of rads could also be an option, coupled with the generation of radiation would result in a nice chain reaction.
• Fissioning Fuel turns into nuclear waste and possibly lead while generating lots of heat and radiation.
• Spent fuel/waste would sink to the bottom for capture.
• Some method of moderating the reaction, in real life it's done with carbon rods absorbing particles to slow down the reaction. not sure how that part would work..

The reactor we curently got is called a "research reactor". It is possible they plan to add an energy reactor in the future (althrough i don`t know what would use that amount of power). If they want to add it then maybe it could use graphite and lead to construct and uranium and molten salt as fuel. It would be cool if they made it modular so that you can place multiple blocks nearby and use all of them to generate power (which would be mostly heat harvested by the turbines).
