Concept Criticism
Kirk Sorensen of Flibe Energy has criticized the TWR as "a particularly difficult implementation" of the fast breeder reactor, which he characterizes as "already hard to build in the first place", as well as for plans for its eventual nuclear decommissioning. Dr. Robert Hargraves, who is on the Flibe Energy Board of Advisors, lauded the goal of addressing energy poverty globally with the TWR, but briefly highlighted that its projected cost of energy production, "competitive with nuclear power", wasn't as low as fossil fuels (e.g. coal).
