Which consequence results when a thorium nuclear power plant's coolant flow is suddenly lost?

💡 Explanation

Heat flow is abruptly arrested if coolant flow is lost; therefore, fuel melting is delayed because of thorium's high heat capacity, rather than prompt criticality, which is mitigated by robust reactor design.
