Move to Terrestrial Energy

[edit]

This article more or less describes the one product of Terrestrial Energy so it should be move to a page call such. I'll move this if there aren't anyone against it. -- Sjschen (talk) 20:51, 22 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Sjschen: I think we should move it too, but is this really Terrestrial Energy? The entire design is really the DMSR, a TE article would be much "thinner". Whatever you prefer I'll perform shortly. Maury Markowitz (talk) 11:27, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction about the use of drain tanks

[edit]

The statement:

As with other molten salt reactors, the reactor can also be shut down by draining the fuel salt from the Core-unit into storage tanks.

is contradicted by the statement:

Most molten salt reactors use a gravity drain tank as an emergency storage reservoir for the molten fuel salt. The IMSR deliberately avoids this drain tank.

--Terjepetersen (talk) 01:15, 22 August 2018 (UTC) It can be drained but not gravity drained. Hence there is no contradiction.[reply]

[edit]

I'm about to flag this article as being an advert in places.

There may be other related issues. MSRs are hot topics! I see for example TMSR-500 is already flagged (since 2015) as having possible COI issues. Lots to investigate. Andrewa (talk) 18:45, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Any specific places you can mention? Fermiboson (talk) 19:29, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
