The biggest obstacle with such extreme exposure is that the target would evaporate within milliseconds if not properly cooled. With temperatures reaching between 200 and 600 °C, using water for cooling is not an option. Also gas cannot remove heat quickly enough. Instead, the researchers turned to liquid metal.

Some are hugely innovative using advanced fuels, breeder technology and various cooling strategies to slash construction and operation costs, while addressing safety and non-proliferation issues. It would use liquid sodium both to cool the reactor and store energy. Indeed, the IAEA has a database of 72 different designs.
