A liquid metal cooled molten salt reactor having a liquid metal vessel connected to a gas chamber that is connected to a molten salt chamber that is connected with a hot liquid metal vessel. A fuel salt that is withdrawn from the fuel salt tank through a feeding tube into the molten salt chamber from which the fuel salt is withdrawn into a salt separator. A purging gas is inserted into the gas chamber and withdrawn. A liquid metal coolant is dispensed from the liquid metal vessel through a plurality of dispensing nozzles into the molten salt chamber.
