            AREVA found no issues that would prevent this reactor from being developed further. For some specific applications, such as urban proximity siting, industrial heat supply and actinide transmutation, the LS-VHTR could have significant advantages over other Generation IV reactor types. However, it is also recognized that significant hurdles still remain, particularly in the area of material compatibility and performance, to deployment of the LS-VHTR as a commercially viable option.
