Thorium-based reactors famously are constrained by the lack of such material which would withstand the contact with hot molten salt, especially somewhat radioactive.
As anyone with a boat knows, salt water is insanely corrosive and gets into everything. Even large container ships have to be regularly serviced.
I can only what hot molten salt does to industrial processes.
Just using electricity is probably cheaper and easier; large power plants are crazy efficient already.
