Kaleidos 1
TypeReactor coolant/technology family. Gas-cooled fast is separated from thermal HTGR designs; sodium-cooled includes both fast and thermal-spectrum designs.
HTGR 3
Size classDerived from published electric output per module: Micro is 20 MWe or less, Small is above 20 and up to 300 MWe, Medium is above 300 MWe. Legacy heat-only classifications use one third of thermal output as an explicit comparison convention, not a claimed electric rating.
Micro 4
MWe / module MWeNet (or gross where only gross is published) electric output of one reactor module as the company or its regulator publishes it. Null for heat-only designs.
1 4
MWt / module MWtThermal output of one reactor module as published by the company or its regulator.
