INTRODUCTION
This section needs to explicitly declare:
- research gap - research objectives - brief methodology EXPERIMENTAL
METHOD
It would be much better if Fig. 1 graphically shows your research methodology in steps. Then, you elaborate each step in more details in sequence.
If you do this, readers will be able to reproduce your methodology.

Referring to Ref. [14], data in Table 1 is for HTR-10 not for RDE. You need to declare that those data are design parameter of RDE. Or please just use design parameter of RDE.
Table 1 Some data in Table 1 cannot be found in Ref. [14]. Please clarify.
Please also clarify the decimal signs.
186 Table 2 needs references. You also need to explain those terms used in the Table.
226 Data in Table 3 are different from the source Ref. [14]. Is your reference correct?
228 - 230 Which calculation show that the nuclides in RDE inventory divided into groups? You never mentioned any group before.
291 - 293 What does this sentence mean?
297 - 299 Please provide data to support this statement.
317 Please make those color legends in Fig. 3 clearer Final comments and recommendations:
