Imagine the safety label on the outlet of that blowoff valve WARNING: RADIATION EXTREME HEAT CONTENTS PRESSURIZED CAUSTIC MATERIALS STAND CLEAR Not that our reactor technicans would stand clear. I mean almost every ship on this forum has a reactor which operates at 1 K from meltdown.

But you see, that's the point of MSRs, they're not working unless they're in meltdown. Besides, U-233 dioxide's melting point is too low; if it were molten in a MSR then I can have smaller, hotter radiators for a smaller cross section in combat. Just make the reactor and radiators and pumps out of Tungsten Rhenium.
Don't know about the thermocouple... I guess that'll be the new limiting heat tolerance.
