[edit] MSR and SCWR

The Molten-Salt Reactor is an epithermal reactor, not a thermal reactor.

Also, the Supercritical-Water-Cooled Reactor can be either thermal or fast -- and the US is interested in pursuing the fast version as well as the thermal version. Oralloy 07:48, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, and I think some Generation III+ Generators are out already, but it says that it will be released at 2010. (check the canada website at bottom) Andrewrhchen 22:04, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PBR

I don't see Pebble bed reactor under either Generation III reactor or here. Since INL is looking at building one, shouldn't it be here? Simesa 20:09, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Energy amplifier

The Energy amplifier is a concept I just heard of. Perhaps it deserves a mention here as well. Simesa 20:25, 19 May 2006 (UTC) its covered under sub-critial reactors

[edit] Merging of Generation II and Generation III pages into Generation IV page

I could see merging the Generation II and Generation III pages together, but Generation IV is a completely different topic. I recommend leaving the pages as they are. Simesa 22:08, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't think that the reactor generation categories should be merged. Leave as they are, because of the technological advances made from generation to generation make reactors distinctly different in terms of efficiency, safety, etc. (Lachlan, 26/12/2006).

I might consider removing that tag later, but I think this should be discussed more first. Andrewrhchen 21:59, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

I think they should be kept seperate as well. Removing tags, repost if need be. The machine512 17:28, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
