Hybrid/variable spectrum reactor
So the systems are just incompatible from an engineering and planning perspective because their requirements are too different? Alright thank you for your time. Though I will note that the problems with fuel swelling and gas buildup are obviated with a liquid fuel reactor as with the dual fluid...- armoredchestnut
