    Abstract: A tubular linear motor (20), for operating actuating a component in a molten salt loop (43,44,45), preferably a molten salt loop (43,44,45) in a nuclear reactor (40), comprising a stator (11) having a lumen, a tubular translational mover (8) in the lumen, the stator (11) comprising stator windings surrounding the lumen for inducing a magnetic field penetrating the mover (8), the stator windings each comprising an electrically conductive solid bar (12), at least a portion of the length thereof being arranged spirally, the spirally arranged portion being arranged between first- and second ferromagnetic rings (26,27), the spirally arranged portion of the length of electrically conductive solid bar (12) being positioned between the first- and second ferromagnetic rings (26,27), by one or more spacers (13), preferably ceramic spacers (13), for electrically insulating the electrically conductive solid bar (12) from the first- and second ferromagnetic rings (26,27).
