Usage and Cooling

• It is only used as a PWR coolant. It is the strongest PWR flux multiplier in the mod, adding a whopping +150% to the core flux.

• Liquid Thorium Salt also has a 400 TU heat capacity per mB of it.

Pros and Cons

• Because of it being a strong flux multiplier, it can be used in setups designed for breeding fuel.
• Liquid Thorium Salt can also turn the PWR into a Uranium-233 megafactory. While only one nugget per 16000mB of the salt seems like a small amount at first glance, the PWR can heat up the coolant very fast, producing a lot of U-233 and generic nuclear waste as a byproduct.
  • However, because the PWR heats up so much coolant at once, it can be too much even for the 3-second process of enriching the thorium salt, so speed upgrades or several chemical plants may be required in order to keep up with the output.
• The fact that it has such strong flux multiplier doesn't come without its burden: The flux increase can be too much to handle for the PWR and melt down, especially those that use strong fuel rods, such as HES-326.
