Netherlands[edit]

There's no new nuclear reactors planned at Borssele. I am removing this section of the table. 86.84.200.125 (talk) 15:48, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

St. Lucie plant[edit]

What happened to the St. Lucie NPP? [1] I will research it and add it in. 216.164.138.57 16:31, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Someone will still have to modify the NRC Region 2 template. 216.164.138.57 17:01, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Sweden table reactor model naming[edit]

The reactor model section under the sweden table has an excessive amount of information for what it is, there is no need to cite the reactors model multiple times in different ways. Ive tried to change this in the past put for some reason, my edit was being reverted. Are there any opposing views to changing the models to their original simplified models as it was here https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_commercial_nuclear_reactors&oldid=1136667193#Sweden

Thanks, North747 (talk) 17:47, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have tried to satisfy both desires by moving the added detail to a new column for Notes. I have also used this to try and keep the columns from becoming distended by individual cite notes - the notes column can say a lot without misshaping the table. Wizmut (talk) 04:52, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I like your idea, thanks for making this change. North747 (talk) 19:07, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Misc header discussion[edit]

I've been thinking about headers. Initially I shortened the 3 date headers, but Ita140188 pointed out that the start of commercial operation is a subtle distinction. The PRIS uses "New connection to the grid"^[1] and "First grid connection",^[2] which is slightly more flexible. The ideal would be to have a name that is as compact as the dates themselves. Perhaps "Active on grid"?

I then moved on to making the table headers sticky - see the current state of any large country's table. This introduced a bug where the sub-headers are not sticky. I was going to revert my own change, but I noticed that the header "Reactor" is an odd thing to have. The whole list is of reactors, not of plants. And yet the "Name" column is about plants. If there are no objections, the "Name" column should be "Plant name" and the "Reactor" heading can simply be removed, with the "Type" and "Model" can be top-level headers.

I'll make these changes after about a week if nobody objects. Wizmut (talk) 05:27, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Pris also has a commercial operation date, which is the date that is used for all reactors in this page. This is the date that matters, since before that plants are in the testing phase. I agree with removing the 'Reactor' top-level header and leave only the sub-headers as top-headers. --Ita140188 (talk) 07:30, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

VVER model numbers[edit]

As it stands, some of the VVER reactors are missing model numbers (the part after the slash, VVER-1000/V-320) and the formatting is inconsistent. I found a 2013 brochure^[1] by the reactor supplier which has the model numbers for all VVER reactors up until that date on page 13. They're also using the formatting with the slash (not space). I'll be adding the missing models and fixing the formatting if nobody has other suggestions. 2001:999:231:4DB2:D58B:D03:F809:EAC7 (talk) 15:50, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If this results in the table distorting itself (line width doubling, for example), consider using a notes column to contain extra details. See the Sweden table. But otherwise any well-sourced details are welcome. Wizmut (talk) 19:51, 5 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've done the edit now. Turns out that the data is also available in PRIS, so no need for additional sources. I cross checked the data and it's consistent. I chose to use the style/formatting from the manufacturer's brochure. 2001:999:250:56EB:9D94:239D:523B:1B39 (talk) 17:35, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
