The Generation IV International Forum coordinates six advanced technology families, such as fast reactors, molten salt reactors, high-temperature reactors, and gas- or liquid-metal-cooled reactors. Some concepts have historical precedents or prototypes, but most are not yet available as standardised commercial products. It is therefore correct to say that they exist as technological development, not that they will replace current reactors tomorrow.
