China has developed an advanced molten-salt nuclear reactor design often described as “meltdown-resistant.” Unlike traditional reactors, it uses liquid fuel that naturally drains into a safe configuration if overheating occurs—shutting itself down without human intervention. It doesn’t mean zero risk—but it represents a major safety leap. Important Details: • Molten-salt reactor design • Passive safety mechanisms • Fuel is liquid, not solid rods • Automatically shuts down if overheated • Lower p
