I knew, when writing, that some salts are functionally insoluable ( lithium-fluoride, I’d read, pretty-much doesn’t dissolve in water ).
I’d hoped that I’d phrased it carefully-enough, but obviously didn’t.
Definitely thank you for identifying that the salt specific to thorium-salt reactors isn’t at room temperature going to be easily dissolveable into our environment…
but … I’ve also learned that hot-chemistry can be drastically different from room-temperature chemistry, & after all the … gaslighting … of various industries, through the past decades…
I want systematic & thorough testing to see what that salt can react with, under its entire temperature & pressure regime, before anybody signs-off on it.
“hands off” is a very polite way of saying it, Hoomin…
& I’d never thought of marble as a salt, you got me on that point!
