China to Pioneer Melt-Down Proof Reactors

pease1 writes "FT.com reports China is poised to develop the world's first commercially operated "pebble bed" nuclear reactor. If successfully commercialized, the pebble bed reactor would be the first radically new reactor design for several decades. It would push China to the forefront of development of a technology that researchers claim offers a new "meltdown-proof" alternative to standard water-cooled nuclear power stations." This was mentioned in September of last year but now looks as though the plan is moving forward.

I like nuclear power because the FRENCH who are smarter than Americans like nuclear power.

Now I think between you and me, we've manage to troll the entire known universe with just two posts.
