[ RadSafe ] RE: [cdn-nucl-l] Rise & Fall of the IFR

[Jaro]

Thanks very much George, for posting that interesting article.

I notice that one thing it doesn't mention at all is the problem of sodium
flammability.
While I think the IFR is a great concept, I must admit that the fluoride
salts favored by MSR advocates are safer in that respect.
