it is just shocking that they did the trial run of the nuclear reactor in Beijing where there are over 20 million people. on the other hand, they were actually allowed to carry out such trial run close to where those most powerful live.

to figure out what other crazy stuff is happening in Beijing, did a quick search and it turns out that there are dozens of experimental nuclear reactors in Beijing, with the first one built in 1964 in Beijing. Tsinghua alone operates many of them.

crazy

KTH (the Royal Institute of Technology) was running a nuclear reactor[1] in Stockholm from 1954 to 1970. So if it's crazy, it's at least not unprecedented.

with 1/10 of the population in Stockholm, the craziness is not remotely comparable.
