First meltdown-proof nuclear reactor passes loss of cooling test in China

A team of engineers from Tsinghua University, working at China's high-temperature reactor with a pebble-bed module (HTR-PM), claims that the reactor has passed a critical cooling test. In their study, published in Joule, the group turned off external power to the reactor to test its cooling abilities over two days.
