China unveils world’s 1st meltdown-proof nuclear reactor with 105 MW capacity


The nuclear reactor has been in the works since 2016 and was only began operations in December 2023.


In a global first, researchers at Tsinghua University in China have successfully demonstrated a meltdown-proof nuclear fission reactor. The twin reactor design can generate 105 MW of power each and has been in the works since 2016. The technology is a welcome step for the nuclear energy industry after the meltdown at Fukushima in Japan more than a decade ago.
