A molten salt reactor system may produce fission products, such as molybdenum-99, which may be extracted by an extraction system. The extraction system may be configured to sparge the molten fuel salt with an inert gas to dislodge gaseous fission products from the molten fuel salt, so that the gaseous fission products flow through an off-gas outlet into a gas transfer assembly. The example extraction system may also include introducing a gaseous halogenating agent to prevent the fission products from depositing on a pipe surface of the gas transfer assembly. The gaseous fission products may flow from the gas transfer assembly to a carboy containing an aqueous solution, to process and/or filter the fission products. The resulting solution containing processed fission products in the carboy may be further distilled into final, usable products.
