@Atomic Alliance As was discussed in great detail on the discord, your reactors are not feasible given current technology (they do not work). As such, these two RP's are not permitted.

As a general reminder for all, you are limited to currently feasible technology. This means that if it can not happen given current technology, it is not allowed.

HTGTRs are not MSRs, unlike MSRs the HTGR is a Gen II and III Reactor, many have been constructed and operated. the VHTGR is a Gen IV Reactor, which I am not building

Gas-cooled reactor types include:

Gas-cooled reactor (graphite moderated, CO2 cooled)
Magnox (British design, 28 built, 1956-2015)
UNGG reactor (French design, 10 built, 1956-1994)
Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor (Magnox successor, 15 built, 1962-today)
Heavy water gas cooled reactor (heavy water moderated, CO2 cooled)
Brennilis Nuclear Power Plant (1967-1985)
KS 150 (1972-1979)
High temperature reactor (graphite moderated, Helium cooled)
Prismatic block reactor
Dragon reactor (1964-1975)
Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (1967-1974)
Fort Saint Vrain Generating Station (1979-1989)
High-temperature engineering test reactor (1999-today)
Gas Turbine Modular Helium Reactor (General Atomics design)
Steam Cycle High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (Areva SMR design)
Pebble bed reactor
AVR reactor (1966-1988)
THTR-300 (1983-1989)
HTR-10 (2003-today)
HTR-PM (under construction)
Pebble bed modular reactor (design)
Gas-cooled fast reactor (No moderator, Helium cooled)
Energy Multiplier Module (General Atomics design)

Furthermore, my Hydrogen Breeder Reactor is based on a reactor that the operators are considering to be economically retractable in 2020-2030, testing has shown the design is operable.

My Designs are based off the GT-MHR Project (https://inis.iaea.org/collection/NCLCol ... 033031.pdf) is what my Modular design is going. and GTHTR300C (https://aris.iaea.org/PDF/GTHTR300C.pdf)

Gas Cooled reactors have been constructed before

In defence of Ceramic Fuels, the Japanese HTTR (1999-Present) and some other designs use it. https://www.jaea.go.jp/04/o-arai/nhc/en/faq/index.html under What is HTGR the ceramic fuels "Fuel of the HTGR has a fourfold ceramic coating and it confines fission products even at temperature of 1600 deg C"

Alright, disregard then. I thought they were the other reactor that had been discussed on the discord.
