Whoa whoa. Go take some high school chemistry and try again. Table salt contains the metal sodium. Sodium is NOT salt. It is a meltable metal that can store a lot of heat [and low absorption of neutrons which makes it a good coolant here], which is why it is used to transfer heat in a sodium-based reactor in cooling tubes.to boilers to make steam to run a turbine. The tubes are a sealed closed system and they do not contact the outside world. That is because the sodium would react badly with air and moisture. Basically this is like a railroad steam engine but with nukes instead of burning coal, and the steam drives electric turbines instead of wheels.

There is no runoff, it is a sealed system. You misinterpreted the Wiki article. Ask me anything and I will help with explanation.
