Researchers are considering three different types: a lead-cooled fast reactor, a uranium-fueled, helium-gas-cooled reactor, and a molten-salt-cooled reactor, shown here [below, at bottom]. One is a thorium-fueled molten-salt reactor. The reactors would be small, modular units. million (an eye-popping $495 million today).
