List of thorium-fueled reactors

This seems to be a list of reactors where any thorium was ever inserted and burned, with no distinction between ongoing use, one time at commissioning, for fuel enhancement, research projects, etc. Is that really useful? It might be better to distinguish at least between primarily thorium-fueled reactors (at this point just prototypes as far as I can tell) and reactors where thorium was used but is not the primary fuel. --Geoffk01 (talk) 02:31, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

From the article: "Th-232 is transmuted into the fissile artificial uranium isotope U-233 which is the nuclear fuel". --Ancheta Wis   (talk | contribs) 11:10, 8 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

To my knowledge, your comment about PRIMARY fuel is correct; we could re-title that table to "List of reactors in which Thorium was experimented with as fuel". It is definitely hard to be both accurate and concise. ---Avatar317^(talk) 20:15, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
