Gen IV Nuclear reactor started in China. Another world first

Another first for China, after yesterday’s news of the world’s first nuclear powered container ship. And the other day calls for Hong Kong to import more nuclear electricity from China. 

This is good news!

Check out the highlighted bits above —  safer (“inherent safety” principles), more sustainable, more efficient, zero carbon and zero waste (actually uses nuclear waste from older nuclear power plants).  Also produces zero-carbon hydrogen! How good is that!

By the way, Shandong is a lovely seaside province in northern China. The home of Qingdao (Tsing Tao) China’s famous beer. And beaches. And where they held the 2008 Olympic sailing.
