Paper reactors
Kā atbildi uz jau ierasto argumentum ad non-existantiam par to kā brīder-reaktori atrisinās kodolatkritumu problēmu un SMRi atrisinās AES dārdzību, atgādināšu slaveno H. Rickover publikāciju par "teorētiskiem" reaktoriem salīdzinājumā ar "reāliem". Ņemam vērā, ka šis novērojums ir no tālā 1953. gada, un 70 gadu laikā mums tā arī nav neviena pretpiemēra:

An academic reactor or reactor plant almost always has the following basic characteristics:

It is simple.
It is small.
It is cheap.
It is light.
It can be built very quickly.
It is very flexible in purpose (“omnibus reactor”)
Very little development is required. It will use mostly “off-the-shelf” components.
The reactor is in the study phase. It is not being built now.

On the other hand, a practical reactor plant can be distinguished by the following characteristics:

It is being built now.
It is behind schedule.
It is requiring an immense amount of development an apparently trivial items. Corrosion, in particular, is a problem.
It is very expensive.
It takes a long time to build because of the engineering development problems.
It is large.
It is heavy.
It is complicated.
