|---|---|
| Better Moderation | Reactor control issues |
| High negative temperature coefficient | Decomposition |
| Low system pressure | Poor heat transfer |

Famous quotes containing the word organic:
“A set of ideas, a point of view, a frame of reference is in space only an intersection, the state of affairs at some given moment in the consciousness of one man or many men, but in time it has evolving form, virtually organic extension. In time ideas can be thought of as sprouting, growing, maturing, bringing forth seed and dying like plants.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
