Salt is absolutely terrible for any equipment involved in power generation. You’re better off with a power plant and a separate desalination plant than trying to use one for both
But you’re right, cheap energy will help immensely with this
Haha true that, though if I’m not mistaken a large part of the engineering of molten salt reactors is dealing with the salt…man I want the cool tech to be rolled out
With rising sea levels and general water shortages, why don’t we also use them as desalination plants?
Surely there has to be a way to deal with brine, it’s just salt and water after all?

Say that too molten salt reactors! /s

In other words, boil water yet again?
