You can use a dry cooling system with any steam generator, but the key here, which I suppose I didn't emphasize, is that the loss of efficiency by using a dry as opposed to a wet cooling system is mitigated by the higher operating temperature of the TMSR.That's not what I'm describing.
This is what I'm describing, since water in the reactor loop and steam turbine loop is recycled. The water consumption there is low. The big demand for water would be for the condenser.
That's sorta my point a dry cooling system is not a unique feature of molten salt reactors. a PWR could be placed in a dry area too.

China is trying out some interesting renewable concept. This one pairs PV with Salt generation at the same time. PVs slopped at 17 degrees. Both side can generate electricity
PV modules erected at certain height to allow fish farming & sun dried salt production also
hydrogen demonstration project demonstrates you can get same quality steel. That's pretty important i think
but the carbon reduction is just 70% for this project. Still plenty of work to fully decarbonize
Largest green ammonia project of 180k ton starting construction in Jilin. There are several major ammonia project under the way. This is just one of many

the first jacket wind turbine+cage system rolled off production line
This will be put into offshore wind turbine soon enough. Great innovation here to earn additional revenues from offshore wind farm

China's first high altitude solar + hydrogen + ESS project. Looks like 1GW of PV and most of that goes toward generating electricity (2.2TWh enough to power 2 million households) and some remainder will generate H2 using 3 1MW PEM electrolyzers. Will generate enough each day to power 15 FCEVs
the amount of wind project announced in the first half of 2023 is nothing short of extraordinary. 27GW of offshore wind in 6 month would be over 50GW in a full year. The entire globe at just over 60GW offshore wind at end of 2022.
The size of China's wind build out is huge
Core reactor of first Linglong-1 has passed acceptance testing and will now be delivered to Hainan plant
How does this make any sense? Any sunlight that incidents the PV panels would not be reaching the salt.
Yeah but it doesn't matter, if less sun is blocked then that means the solar panels get less sun. It's the same amount of sun that shines onto the same area, you can divide it however you want but in the end you're just robbing peter to pay paul.
