>As I mention, Superphénix is a Gen IV, and was finished building in 1981. No, it isn't and wasn't. The Gen IV FBR types are only GFR, SFR, LMFBR and SCWR. From the link I provided earlier 'In January 2018, it was reported that "the first installation of the pressure vessel cover of the world's first Gen IV reactor" had been completed on the HTR-PM.'

> , it isn't and wasn't. The Gen IV FBR types are only GFR, SFR, LMFBR and SCWR. Superphénix is an SFR. Its first version, Phénix, is literally cited in the official Gen IV description of what an SFR is[0]. Historically, it has not been labeled Gen IV, but only because the Gen IV nomenclature didn’t exist at the time.
