After the first phase has been completed, the NRC will consider whether analyses are needed for other reactor types and/or sites.
But the documents frankly discussed the pressures General Electric was under at the time to gain customers for that reactor type.
For technical and historical reasons, the three are each associated with different reactor types.
The development of the new reactor type was stopped in 1976 due to political issues.

However there are a few general comments that can be made with regards to PFRs compared to other reactor types.
As such, a molten core is reflective of the normal and safe state of operation of this reactor type.
