"unlikely to be successfully deployed anytime soon... Because of the different kinds of fuel used, these MSR designs need special facilities — not present in Canada currently — to fabricate their fuel...  Both processes are intimately linked to the potential to make fissile materials used in nuclear weapons... the 1954 Aircraft Reactor Experiment... ran for just 100 hours... Molten Salt Reactor Experiment... reactor had to be shut down at least once every four out of five weeks"
