My non-expert guess is that given the large amount of power you have in a small area in a nuclear reactor, it would be hard to reach equilibrium while keeping the fuel solid. If the fuel is in a liquid state (as in a molten salt reactor), then you could more easily since you could have it pour into a wide container, increasing surface area. (Basically the freeze plug approach). |
