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 ...
^Location: the LF1 reactor is sited within an industrial park located in Hongshagang (town), Minqin (county), Wuwei (prefecture), Gansu (province), China. As per official documentation, the TMSR-LF1 site is located at 38°57'31" N, 102°36'55" E.
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.
A new paper details two tests of a nuclear plant that can’t melt down. The durability is due to natural qualities, like insulated fuel and the density of heated gas.
China has built a land-based prototype nuclear reactor for a large surface warship, in the clearest sign yet Beijing is advancing toward producing the country’s first nuclear-powered aircraft ...
A doughnut-shaped object in a building in China has blazed into life for the first time – and it will reach temperatures hotter than the sun. China’s ‘artificial sun’ reactor has switched ...
Also as of 2020, China had 41 additional nuclear reactors planned and 168 proposed reactors under consideration. [36]: 197 China's under construction reactors accounted for 27% of worldwide reactors under construction. [36]: 197 As of at least 2023, China's goals for nuclear power expansion are the most ambitious of any country. [36]: 197
The reactor in Shidao Bay, China is the world’s first gas-cooled nuclear power plant built for commercial demonstration. It is cooled by helium and can reach high temperatures of up to 750 ...
