The naturally controlled temperature low-pressure fast neutron reactor maintains reactivity by evaporating and condensing nuclear fuel. The reactor evaporates a portion of the fissionable nuclear fuel when temperature exceeds the boiling temperature of the molten salt fuel. By the evaporation, the reactor controls the core reactivity chain reaction, preventing the temperature from exceeding the operation temperature. The evaporated fuel gas phase is condensed externally or internally. The reactor includes breedable materials like U238 and Thorium to generate additional fissionable fuel. Because of its inherent safety and simplicity, the reactor can be modernized into a small modular reactor and operate at a designed temperature controlled by the nuclear fuel chemistry. The reactor reflector can include ceramic solid particles of used nuclear fuel, U238, and Thorium.
