CHINA LAUNCHES WORLD’S ‘MOST ADVANCED’ NUCLEAR REACTOR THAT’S COOLED BY GAS, NOT WATER

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

China has begun operations at a nuclear reactor that uses gas rather than water for cooling. Construction of the plant started in 2012 and its first reactor was connected to the country's power grid in 2021. Interest in gas-cooled reactors is increasing globally as they can provide efficient and cost-effective electricity. They can also produce high-temperature process heat for industrial applications. Pictures of the power plant are available in the article.
