Is it true that 18-year-old Taylor Wilson built a nuclear reactor?

The reactor he spoke about at TED is called a "molten salt reactor (MSR)", and its design is actually not innovative at all. The first molten salt reactor appeared in the 1950s. The United States already had relatively mature technology and a large amount of experimental data. At the beginning of the 21st century, the GIF Forum restored the status of the fourth generation MSR reactor. type XJTU published it as early as 2008. Some MSR articles have the same concept as Taylor (who had not yet done so in 2008). In fact, it's not too difficult to build a small experimental reactor. What's difficult is taking into account the economy, security, etc. of the plant during its commercial operation. It is necessary to achieve high energy production efficiency, develop safety and security. effective operating mechanism and consider possible challenges. Accident conditions and methodsTreatment options are not that simple.
