This comes from the reactors listed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_IV_reactor
If more are presented in this format I will edit this post and allow mods to edit this post. I think it is interesting to follow the current progress of fission and hopefully I can get help in creating the list as some of you may also find a complete list interesting and useful. Perhaps we can submit a wikipedia page if we get a respectable list.
If someone knows of a somewhat complete list let me know. My idea is to catagorize them, have a small segment about their status and provide a link for further information. I am submitting this post now so I can get feedback and whatnot. Either way this is my work in progress, I will probably be including interesting reactors like AVR since it has interesting history.
Red=Current Blue=future Black= decommissioned etc
Gen 4 reactors & Status
Thermal reactorsCAREM
-A 25 MW, light water version of CAREM is currently being built near Atucha I Nuclear Power Plant as the first prototype and a second one of 200 MWe is planned to be installed in Formosa Province.
--no working link and I'm not chasing it atm.
Pebble bed reactorsAVR
-High contamination, the reactor vessel was filled in 2008 with light concrete in order to fix the radioactive dust. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVR_reactorHTR-10/ (HTR-PM)(possibly red?)
-In 2005, China announced its intention to scale up HTR-10 for commercial power generation. The first two 250-MWt High Temperature Reactor-Pebblebed Modules (HTR-PM) will be installed at the Shidaowan plant in Shandong Province and together drive a steam turbine generating 200 MWe. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2009 and commissioning in 2013.

THTR-300
-suffered a number of technical difficulties, and owing to these and political events in Germany, was closed after only four years of operation. One cause for the closing was an accident on 4 May 1986 with a limited release of radioactive dust caused by a human error during a blockage of pebbles in a pipe. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/THTR-300
PBMR
-postponed indefinitely http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PBMR
