This is a two hour plus discussion of Thorium reactors - very interesting alternative to what we do now. If you go to the 0ne hour 8 minute mark they talk about what they do to control the effects of a break in a high pressure (150 atm) line in the containment building of a solid uranium fueled reactor.

BTW the most attractive thing about a liquid salt reactor compared to a pressurized boiling water reactor is the liquid salt reactor operates at low pressure and that makes everything much simpler and safer. There are a lot of other benefits using liquid salt vs boiling water as well.
