From Kyle Hill.
This year, the first next next generation nuclear reactor expected to enter operation passed a huge milestone. Scientists and engineers in China proved that the reactor was, in theory, MELTDOWN-PROOF. How is that possible? Isn’t a meltdown always possible? Noted Nuclear Zaddy Kyle Hill explains the fascinating science behind pebble bed reactors (PBRs).
