This category seems to be used both for reactor types such as the PWR and for particular reactors such as HIFAR. I think it should be split, but I'm not quite sure how. Andrewa 19:50, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

That's not the half of it! This has every reactor type, every power reactor, and every research reactor article that took the time to tag it. I would really like to see subcategories, but I don't really know if that exists. There are a lot of types, and I think it could be helpful to have a PWR tag, and BWR tag, but you have problems with that in that many research reactors and such are one-of-a-kind.

But I would like to propose a question to everyone looking at this; do we want research reactors on this at all? A TON of them didn't put the tag, but others have it. I think that in general this list in incredibly non-comprehensive and could use some work if anyone had time to think it out. theanphibian 07:04, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, you can disregard my last statement there, I think I have what we are supposed to do figured out.

If you have a template you tag the template for a category but the articles using that template do not get listed in the category automatically, even the tag appears in the respective articles.
For any article belonging to a sub-category, you put the tag for the subcategory and not the main category because that's obvious.

Understanding this, I'll apply it to the U.S. university research reactors that I've been working on. But there are also some other international research reactors that need their tags fixed if this is correct. Is this correct? Anybody? theanphibian 18:45, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Category by country[edit]

Well there should be a category "Nuclear Reactors by country" which would link to "Nuclear technology by country" but there isn't! Hugo999 (talk) 07:27, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
