Original Note:
The reactor in question uses an isotope of thorium which has to absorb neutrons and decay into Uranium 233 for the reactor to work. It’s also misleading to call it safer as the design of the reactor has never been used commercially. https://thebulletin.org/2022/06/molten-salt-reactors-were-trouble-in-the-1960s-and-they-remain-trouble-today/amp/
