Cooling salt is not radioactive.
Cooling salt pump located inside Cooling system container or house.
Cooling system must insure enough flow to keep the hot cooling salt and returning cooling salt at specified temperatures
Wast Burner container is housing MSR reactor and chemical processing equiptment
Dump Tank is configured to be able to passively air cool the radioactive reactor salt in case of emergency draining
