Nuclear reactors operated with liquid fuel may have several remarkable advantages and features. The most developed reactor system in this category is the Molten Salt Reactor (MSR). It represents an old concept, but its properties are qualifying it for the advance utilization: inherent safety, excellent neutron economy, continuous or batch reprocessing possibility. The focus of this paper is to characterize the MSR physics, highlighting its unique advantages and investigating its specific dynamics.
