That’s awesome – for folks who didn’t read the article they actively tested the reactor’s passive cooling by shutting off all its power systems. It cooled itself to ambient temperature with no meltdown in less than 35 hours with no active coolant flow.

Iirc, some SMR designs also have this property designed, though this is the very first I’ve heard of it actually being tested at scale.
Exactly! It actually seems very promising.

You should read the article – they actually tested and proved it won’t melt down when it loses all active cooling.

Yes we know. But history has a way of proving absolute certainties wrong.
