Too press-releasey[edit]

I've added a bit on the SVBR-100, but couldn't face fixing the rest of it. In general this article sounds like it's been cobbled together from press releases about future/vapourware reactors, when a more encyclopaedic tone would be struck by concentrating on the parameters of the historical reactors and then separating out where things might go in the future.82.31.21.203 (talk) 13:26, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Disadvantages[edit]

"A lead-bismuth reactor will require hundreds to thousands of tonnes of bismuth depending on reactor size." -This figure seems awfully high.

It would seem appropriate to include the challenges of manufacturing a fuel that does not degrade in the proposed molten lead coolant.

Plant contamination[edit]

Polonium decays to lead and bismuth and emits an alpha particle. Those will contaminate the liquid lead coolant only. Is that a real disadvantage? ––Nikolas Ojala (talk) 15:32, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
