MsNB design is based on

the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment operated at Oak Ridge in the 1960s

But, MsNB has been simplified by removing pumps and valves for enhanced reliability and safety

Recent SAM Modeling demonstrates "walk-away" safe for station blackout transient (see MSNB TECHNOLOGY "Computational Models")
