If I mention nuclear reactor accidents, you’d probably think of Three Mile Island, Fukushima, or maybe Chernobyl (or, now, Chornobyl). But there have been others that, for whatever reason, aren’t as ...

Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have definitively answered a long-standing question: the tiny, natural pores inside graphite blocks do not affect the material’s performance as a ...

The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has cleared a major hurdle in making a Generation IV nuclear reactor practical. Using a new process, a team has developed a new way of processing fuel efficiently ...

The Russian state nuclear corporation says that tests have been successfully completed on fuel samples for high-temperature ...

Graphite dust is generated as a by-product of normal operations in high temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs), predominantly arising from mechanical wear of graphite-based components. Typically ...

A remarkable study led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory answers a decades-old question in nuclear science: Do tiny pores in graphite affect nuclear reactor performance? Subscribe to our newsletter for ...

The milestone marks the first production of uranium chloride fuel for a fast-spectrum molten chloride reactor in the United ...

MoltexFLEX scientists worked with the University of Manchester's Nuclear Graphite Research Group to use X-ray micro CT scanners to investigate how molten salt infiltrates pores within standard ...

NMG’s graphite performance validated in fuel-cell bipolar plates for hydrogen technologies and EMI shielding for telecom, automotive, and defense sectors NMG’s graphite–polymer composites demonstrate ...
