The first ever full-scale demonstration of a nuclear reactor designed to passively cool itself in an emergency was a success, showing that it should be possible to build nuclear plants without the risk of dangerous meltdown
I mean, they already had safe meltdown reactors when they made the molten salt reactor. You just put a meltable plug at the bottom of the reactor and if it gets to hot it melts the plug and drains into a container. Thorium requires a specific setup to fission, so this stops all reaction.
