Molten Salt Reactor Corrosion Problems
The molten salt reactors developed at ORNL in the 60's could only be operated for a few years before corrosion from the molten salts forced a shutdown. And this was even though they were only operated at 650 °C. How does TerraPower intend to mitigate this problem in their re-hashed design? Also, a bunch of gaseous radioactive byproducts are produced, how does TerraPower intend to handle this gaseous radioactive waste?98.184.200.177 (talk) 21:55, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Current projects
The article lead currently says that the TWR is their current focus. I think that is badly out of date for a start.

TerraPower have had three main projects. The TWR was the first. Then there was the Natrium reactor (which I personally think is still the most promising) which still seems to be current.

Their latest proposal is the MCFR. Andrewa (talk) 23:40, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Terrapower article - advertising?
This article reads like a PR piece on the company. Would be great to actually talk about risks, challenges, and bumps in the road of their history (which they’ve had several of). 2600:1700:87C0:8A00:0:0:0:29 (talk) 05:38, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
 * In Wikipedia, all statements need to be sourced to Reliable Sources WP:RS like newspapers or academic journals. If you can find any sources for the info you refer to, go ahead and be Bold WP:BOLD and add such statements. (Be aware that any sources that talk about the problems with nuclear reactors must talk  SPECIFICALLY about this company.) --- Avatar317 (talk) 22:37, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

A simple Google search pulls up lots of possible dangers: And the dangers do not have to be specifically about TerraPower. The dangers have to be about the technology TerraPower is using.

This article in its current state mentions no dangers. In its current state it is an advertising puff piece.

There is nothing in the article about total costs over time including decommissioning, waste storage and disposal over the long term. And what those total costs mean when doing honest calculations on the cost per kilowatt hour. And the cost of any possible catastrophic accidents, and how that cost is added to the total costs of TerraPower plants as a group. And how that effects the cost per kilowatt hour as a group. Assuming the government does not subsidize any of the total costs.

You see this info for all other types of renewable energy. --Timeshifter (talk) 23:25, 11 July 2023 (UTC)
