Abstract
A modular containment system to accommodate and hermetically contain salt and fission products in the event of a breach of a molten salt nuclear reactor is provided. The system can include a permanent housing, a containment module at least partially within the permanent housing that defines an interior cavity, a low friction mechanism provided between the permanent housing and the containment module, and a reactor vessel provided within the interior cavity. The system can also include at least one of a passive heat removal system at least partially provided within a wall of the containment module and a sacrificial layer within the interior cavity.
