For purposes of this evaluation, the molten-salt reactor is considered as an advanced concept. It is considered not to have a status of current technology adequate to allow the immediate construction of large-scale power plants, since no power reactor has been built or even designed in detail. As a result there can be no estimate of present cost of power, and the projection of power costs to later years is necessarily based on general arguments rather than detailed considerations.
