    HPR4555: HPR Beer Garden 8 - Belgian Christmas Ales

    2026/1/16
    This show has been flagged as Clean by the host.

    Dave and Kevie bring the HPR listeners another festive edition of the Beer Garden, with the focus turning to Belgian Christmas ales. Kevie discovered a scan of the original advert in the Journal De Charleroi from 1896

    Translation: Christmas beer has arrived at the Arabian horse and the globe, these two establishments so famous for Anglaise beers. Go and taste it, because Christmas is only sold for a short time.

    In this episode Dave samples
    Baby Jesus by Brouwerij 't Verzet
    and Kevie tries out
    La Binchoise Speciale Noel
    .

    HPR4553: Nuclear Reactor Technology - Ep 4 Less Common Reactor Types

    2026/1/14
    This show has been flagged as Clean by the host.

    02 Less Common Reactor Types

    In this episode we discuss some of the less common historical reactor types.

    These are a mixture of less common commercial types and some experimental or research reactors.

    I will cover advanced or future designs in another episode.

    03 Minor Successes

    04 Magnox

    07 AGR - Advanced Gas Cooled Reactor

    10 LWGR - Light Water Graphite Moderated Reactor (RBMK)

    14 Historical Oddities or Dead Ends

    15 Organically Cooled Reactors

    16 Organically Cooled and Moderated

    18 Organically Cooled and Heavy Water Moderated

    24 HTGCR High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor

    28 HWLWR - Heavy Water Light Water Reactor or SGHWR - Steam Generating Heavy Water Reactor

    31 Reactors Making a Comeback

    46 History

    47 Types of Molten Salt Reactor

    48 Pros and Cons

    52 Overall

    53 Conclusion

    In this episode we discussed some of the less common historical reactor types.

    As we have seen, there have been a number of different reactor designs which were less commercially successful for one reason or another.

    Some of them may make a come back however, particularly as the basis for a small reactor.

    In the next episode we will describe fast neutron reactors.
