Draft talk:Bharat Small Reactor

Infobox information are not accurate

I wanted to bring to everyone's attention that the infobox information on the Bharat Small Reactor page may not be fully accurate at this time. As new citations and reliable sources become available in the public domain, I kindly request that editors interested in providing assistance help update the information to ensure the page remains accurate and up-to-date. Your contributions will be greatly appreciated. Charlie (talk) 11:45, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

It's not necessary for sources to be in the public domain. Very few of ours are. In many countries, particularly in the EU, the whole concept of public domain has been in practice abolished.

You say Infobox information are not accurate. But that doesn't accurately describe you are saying above.

Can you be specific as to what if any information in the article you believe to be currently inaccurate? That would be a good start. Then we can fix these errors, or at least tag them with appropriate templates, which will alert other editors to the problems. Andrewa (talk) 21:32, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

@Andrewa Since the BSR is a new type of reactor, we are unsure whether to classify it as a Generation II or Generation III reactor. On one hand, it's seen as a smaller version of the current IPHWR-220, but on the other hand, it's also being called the foundation for the Bharat Small Modular Reactor, which is supposed to be a Light Water Reactor (LWR). Both concepts are different from nuclear engineering's point of view. In short, we are currently trying to determine the correct classification for this reactor.

So my first question is, what is the moderator of the BSR? Light or heavy water? Andrewa (talk) 03:38, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

as per the wordings in reliable sources, its a heavy. Charlie (talk) 04:05, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

As I don't understand this discussion, and Charlie apparently doesn't know much about the topic either, it needs to be worked on in draft. Deb (talk) 08:32, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

Exactly which sources? Andrewa (talk) 03:13, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

@Andrewa This source, particularly the following quote in Para 2 -

“India already has a live 220 MW Pressurised Heavy Water Reactor design. We have a number of them working in the country including Narora (Uttar Pradesh), Rajasthan, Kakrapar (Gujarat), Kalpakkam (Tamil Nadu), Kaiga (Karnataka) and so on. This particular design is being modified and converted as Bharat Small Reactors... In other words, Bharat Small Reactors are nothing but 220 MW Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWR) with some improvements,” Charlie (talk) 03:38, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
