I am wanting to say a report on MSRs I read a dozen years ago also blamed the US defense industry (pre Nixon) for the real setback for thorium reactor research. The argument was that the Pentagon wanted a dual use fuel that would also serve nuclear weapons development, so the big bucks back then didn't flow to playing around with thorium.
The stainless steel fittings are Dairy couplings as well as the heat exchangers. I know, I worked for the Danes many moons ago in the food and beverage sector.
The Danes are clever with some who are very nice people, but also there are many fools who have emotional reactions like those falling for the the 1985 Moratorium on Nuclear. Mind you the Krauts in Germany did the same with Nuclear plants, except they shut the working ones down. Germany was once an intelligent nation. No so much now.

This is a very promising technology and I wish this Denmark Co all success in going from pilot to full scale.
