I did hear that this reactor is an older one. Would it not have the pebble bed reactors?
I hope not, because then the theory is mute. The way it was explained to me is that pebble bet reactors are safe because once the core reaches a certain temp. the reaction process slows down. I heard this from a professor teaching astronomy, but he said he had nuclear credentials. I don’t claim nuclear credentials, so I took his word for it. He could have been full of it, but what would he have to gain? His proposal seemed to make sense. I was actually hoping to get some feedback from some nuclear physicists, from this site.
