Fluoride salt-cooled high-temperature reactor
Also written FHR
Molten salt COOLANT with solid fuel, typically TRISO, and a separate solid moderator, usually graphite. Kairos Power's KP-FHR is the reference example.

Size class is worked out from the electrical output of one unit: up to 10 MWe is a microreactor, up to 300 MWe a small modular reactor. A design with no stated output is not classed.
