Peer Review of David's Essay WA2

Hi David,

After reading your essay, here are some comments that I have.

First paragraph, why the world is reexporing the concept of Nuclear power? I though Nuclear powers have been long used. Are you refering to create new ways to run Nuclear power safely?

Second paragraph, "More research in fuel performance and high temperature and corrosion resistant materials (like fiber-reinforced ceramics or composite materials, and zirconium-carbide fuel coatings.) is needed." Why you have 2 fullstop?

I am confused in your paragraph two. How many reactors are you talking about? Are you making a comparism of VHTR and SCWR?

Conculsion paragraph, is done well. You have made a clear stand to what to select.

In general, you have listed down those important points to support your argument. May I suggest that you should split 2 paragraph when comparing.

Thank you.
