>New testing done at China’s Shidaowan nuclear power plant has confirmed its ability to be naturally cooled down, an industry-first milestone for achieving commercial-scale inherent safety, according to researchers. The Shidaowan plant, a demonstration high-temperature, gas-cooled reactor with a pebble-bed module (HTR-PM), went into commercial operation last December.

you'd think, but liquid sodium/floride/etc are pretty gnarly stuff. I'm hoping that the Indian reactors can show some proof of concept though. It'd be nice to have power literally from the dirt beneath our feet
