China's Experimental Fast Reactor Successfully Achieves Criticality
China's Experimental Fast Reactor (EFR) has successfully achieved criticality, marking a major milestone in the development of nuclear fission power in China. The EFR is a type of nuclear reactor that uses fast neutrons to sustain a chain reaction. Fast neutrons are more efficient than slow neutrons, which means that EFRs can produce more power from the same amount of fuel.
