Chinese (probably SINAP) articles should be reviewed too.
In addition, this point also fits into this github issue:
The authors write:
"Moltres is devoted to previously unmatched fidelity in coupled neutronics and thermal hydraulics MSR simulation."
This is an overstatement as codes with similar degree of fidelity have been written in the past. This is the case of the tools developed in the frame of the Evol project, as well as e.g. the work from Aufiero on the coupling between OpenFOAM and Serpent (that the authors mention earlier in the introduction). The authors are required to modify this sentence based on a better bibliographical research.
Overall, improve support for claim that Moltres can provide unmatched fidelity in coupled neutronics / liquid fuel TH.
