It doesn't need high pressure which is good and, if there is a leak the
molten lead would soon solidly and self seal which is also good, but the
Russians have used this sort of design before in their submarines and
that's not exactly a sterling recommendation in my book. And it makes
Plutonium from U238 and that's not my favorite element, call me old
fashioned but I think the world already has more than enough Plutonium in
it. I like the Thorium fuel cycle much more than the Uranium fuel cycle.
