Depleted Uranium many times has a lot of Thorium in the mix, MSR works best with a lot of Thorium .
MSR Thorium reactors can’t melt down,
The reaction is dependent on being inside the containment vessel to continue,
If the salt breaks through containment it looses critical mass to continue reaction.
MSR Truly is better in every way, too bad the military minds in the 50’s felt the only purpose of a nuclear plant was to make fuel for warheads which MSR cannot do.
I recommend reading the book
SUPERFUEL
On this subject if you want a balanced view of the history on why we use inferior reactors today.
