“…Molten fluoride salts have been proposed for use as primary reactor coolants, media for transfer of high temperature process heat from nuclear reactors to hydrogen production facilities [1], for solar thermal energy storage [2], and as a means to raise heat-toelectricity conversion efficiencies of solar power towers to about 50% [3]. These salts are characterized by high thermal conductivities, high specific heats, low viscosities, and high boiling points.…”
