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
The Wikipedia page has a decent graphic. Instead of dropping graphite rods between the fuel rods, the fuel is a pellet permanently encased in a tennis ball sized coating of ceramic silicon carbide. The core is a funnel that pellets are continuously fed through, with an inert gas cooling the funnel and transferring the heat to the water for generating electricity.
