SUMMARY
The major problem in developing Supercritical Water Reactors (SCWR) is materials integrity and degradation, which poses significant challenges to reactor longevity and safety. Additionally, the design and control of the reactor's response to positive reactivity are critical issues that need addressing. Some proposed designs suggest incorporating hydrides in the fuel to enhance moderation, which could potentially mitigate some of these challenges.
