Just trying to get answers to simple questions. If there aren't any good answers, that is an answer.

Ah, "Just Asking Questions", like I suspected.
I guess that is my answer.
Your answer is that these exact issues have been studied for >50 years, and had reasonable answers back then: http://moltensalt.org/references/static/downloads/pdf/ORNL-T...

Almost all largely workable decades ago before we had e.g. laser welding, modern remote welding, industrial robots, etc. Of course things are better now. (Also, of course, we'd have to learn a lot operationally to actually do it).

Still, obviously these are procedures one would like to not have to employ, as they're likely to be very expensive and troublesome. They provided ample fuel for your concern trolling while I slept and couldn't answer, though, and then for you to "conclude" that there was no answer because the person answering in my stead didn't offer one. Yuck.

There is no hurry. We got there in the end.
