What criteria do you use to determine "best"? Safety, construction cost, fuel efficiency, capacity factor? Pretty much all modern designs are much safer than designs of Fukushima and Chernobyl reactors developed in 60s. One of the

IIRC most issues were caused by problems and delays with fuel fabrication, mentioned in my post. And changes in fuel fabrication is one of the main reasons for postponing BN-1200 construction (i.e. it does not make sense to build a reactor,

As I wrote earlier[0], it does not make much sense to build a dedicated satellite destruction weapon residing in orbit (assuming we are talking about LEO). Ground and air based systems are cheaper and much more flexible. And the acceleratio

Heat management is super easy with aquatuner and steam turbine, you only need some steel and plastic, which are not so hard to get. Personally for me ONI heat-management is one of minor dissapointments, I think it would have been much more

IIRC the idea behind BN reactors is that single such reactor would "burn" waste from 2-3 VVER reactors and recycled by BN fuel would be loaded back to them. So you would install a number of BNs in Russia and supply recycled fuel b

I think that modern designs are at least an order of magnitude safer than reactors from early generations. Chernobyl's RBMK and Fukusima's BWR/1 were both designed in 60s. Note that containment of modern reactors is designed

Thank you! I was looking at the Volume 1 only. But IIUC it will not be accessible at user-level, so capability detection will be significantly less convenient for cross-platform library authors compared to x86.
