02 Less Common Reactor Types</p>
<p>
In this episode we discuss some of the less common historical reactor types.</p>
<p>
<br>
</p>
<p>
These are a mixture of less common commercial types and some experimental or research reactors.</p>
<p>
I will cover advanced or future designs in another episode.&nbsp;</p>

53 Conclusion</p>
<p>
In this episode we discussed some of the less common historical reactor types.</p>
<p>
<br>
</p>
<p>
As we have seen, there have been a number of different reactor designs which were less commercially successful for one reason or another.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
Some of them may make a come back however, particularly as the basis for a small reactor.</p>
<p>
<br>
</p>
<p>
In the next episode we will describe&nbsp;fast neutron reactors.</p>
