Copyright
I take it that this probably was copied from a paper for a class? If it is not copyright, it should be better wikified, i.e. get rid of references to figures that don't exist and wikilink important aspects. Lcolson 21:52, 23 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree. A lot of interesting stuff in this article, but it needs a lot of re-working.  Besides the needed Wikifying I'd suggest at the very least it needs an introductory paragraph. Robotman1974 13:14, 15 October 2006 (UTC)


 * The phrase 'we had confidently expected' suggests that at least some of the material is copied straight from the original source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.173.128.209 (talk) 19:27, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Wikify
--Ysangkok 08:21, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) It needs a short first section providing overview.
 * 2) It needs links.
 * 3) The referenced pictures needs to be either uploaded or not mentioned.
 * 4) There are some stars in the article, referring to footnotes. The footnotes aren't there. They need to be added, or the references (stars) need to be removed.
 * 5) Reference 17 is broken. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kylemech (talk • contribs) 04:32, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Article name
The article name should be changed [back] to Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment. Because this is a specific named project and facility, its name is a proper name which should be in title case. I will go to request the move. --orlady 13:53, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Was the reactor really running on Pu239 ?
Is there any reference for the reactor using Pu239 as fissile fuel (not only as a small impurity) ? I could not find any hint for this, more of the opposite: The first fuel was U-235, than U-233 (until 1969). The articles about cleanup show some Pu, but not much compared to U233.--Ulrich67 (talk) 09:06, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Clean up section
In the section on clean up there's a line 'H2 - hydrogen fluoride'. But H2 isn't HF. Someone more knowledgeable than me should clean this up. Are both H2 and HF used or just HF? AgingDisgracefully (talk) 08:38, 4 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Both are, in around a 1:10 ratio. Some lit (ORNL-4616) says 1:5 in spots.  I added this clarification.
 * However, I'm not sure if it was ever hydrofluorinated in the reactor building. My understanding is that it was all done off site, at the y-12 plant, and shipped in. Bckelleher (talk) 17:28, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
