Abstract

A deployment system for a molten salt reactor includes a reactor module, a cooling module, a coolant preparation module, a fuel shipping module, and a fuel preparation module. Each of the reactor module, the cooling module, the coolant preparation module, the fuel shipping module, and the fuel preparation module may be supplied to a deployment site. Using the coolant preparation module, a coolant salt held within the reactor module may be transferred to the cooling module. Using the fuel preparation module, a fuel salt held within the fuel shipping module may be transferred to the reactor module.
