1. Well-written:

	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	the lead is very big for the article, could bear some trimming. the lead (and body of the article to a lesser extent) are overlinked. WWII, Manhattan project, Metallurgical Lab, Los Alamos Lab, Carnegie Institute, General Atomics and nuclear reactor are all overlinked in the lead, uranium. thorium, Fred Seitz, and nuclear reactor in the body
2. Verifiable with no original research:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	the fourth paragraph of the Later life section lacks a citation at the end
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).
	2c. it contains no original research.
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	the infobox pic would benefit from a caption to indicate Creutz's age at the time it was taken
	7. Overall assessment.	~~Placing on hold for seven days for above comments to be addressed. Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 10:15, 24 December 2014 (UTC)~~ Passing, all comments addressed satisfactorily.[reply]

I have reduced the lead, and removed the duplicate links. I made all the suggested changes except one. I felt that saying that TRIGA was sold to 24 countries (I removed the "different") may have implied that it was sold to the government, when most were sold to universities or research institutes. I think Ann Jo may have told me where and when the photograph was taken, but I do not have access to my email at the present time. Hawkeye7 (talk) 20:49, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. Passing, well done. Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 07:21, 25 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
