Maybe I am conflating the too because of name similarity, but are "Thorium Salt" reactors also cooled with molten sodium?
The army was leery of them not only because it didnt provide weapons grade fuel, but also because they are relatively vulnerable to battle damage.
The Navy in particular was asked why they werent pursuing sodium cooling more in their reactors and had to explain to a congressman about sodiums reaction with water.
