The China syndrome (loss-of-coolant accident) is a nuclear reactor operations accident characterized by the severe meltdown of the core components of the reactor, which then burn through the containment vessel and the housing building, then (figuratively) through the crust and body of the Earth until reaching the opposite end, presumed to be in ...
Because nuclear power plants are large and complex, accidents on site tend to be relatively expensive. [ 7 ] The 1979 Three Mile Island accident in Pennsylvania was caused by a series of failures in secondary systems at the reactor, which allowed radioactive steam to escape and resulted in the partial core meltdown of one of two reactors at the ...

China has 370 warships versus 292 for the U.S. Navy, hundreds more in their so-called coast guard, and a dozen nuclear-powered submarines. Their six type 094 Jin-class "boomers" carry nuclear ...
An official in charge of the wrecked Fukushima nuclear power plant says the upcoming release of treated radioactive water into the sea more than 12 years after the reactors' meltdown marks “a ...
China’s comments came a day after Vladimir Putin approved a decree lowering the threshold for nuclear strikes. At first glance, it looks as if Beijing is worried that the war in Ukraine will ...
The HTR-PM is a high-temperature gas-cooled (HTGR) pebble-bed reactor. While the German AVR and THTR-300, operating from 1969 to 1988, were the first pebble-bed reactors and operated at similar temperatures, the HTR-PM is the first such design using modular construction and the second small modular reactor, following Russia's Akademik Lomonosov floating plant in 2019.
The Biden administration has tightened controls on the export of materials and components for nuclear power plants to China, saying it would ensure the items were used only for peaceful purposes ...
