“…That's because molten salt has a low melting point, which can help it stay liquid when functioning, and it requires lower pressure, which is safer and more reliable. Also, because molten salt has a high thermal inertia, the intermittent of the system will improve [16]. As for supercritical water, it's because it has high specific heat and thermal conductivity, and it's also cheaper than molten salt.…”
