As reported by Nov. 14 Global Times, the No. 2 reactor of the Shidaowan nuclear power plant in East China’s Shandong Province, which is the world’s first high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (HTGR) nuclear plant using pebble-bed fuel module, has reached the critical stage of success.
The Shidaowan plant is also the world’s first commercial use of HTGR nuclear power technology, which is considered a relatively safe technology among the world’s latest fourth-generation nuclear reactors.
