Study models the consequences of failure at Egypt's El-Dabaa nuclear reactor and warns the impact would extend up to 50 miles ...

Theoretically, there's no better, more practical source of reliable, carbon-free energy than the current generation of nuclear reactors. In practice, the theory holds water, but there are still a few ...

Burnable absorbers are key components in modern nuclear reactor design, serving to mitigate the excess reactivity inherent in fresh reactor cores while simultaneously enhancing operational safety and ...

An innovative algorithm for detecting collisions of high-speed particles within nuclear fusion reactors has been developed, inspired by technologies used to determine whether bullets hit targets in ...

Preliminary testing has taken place of an ultrasound system which is designed to provide an additional picture of the BN-800 fast neutron reactor core at Beloyarsk Nuclear Power Plant. Beloyarsk unit ...

Fabrication of the reactor core for the Project Pele prototype mobile microreactor - the first microreactor to be built and operated in the USA - has begun at BWX Technologies' Innovation Campus in ...

China’s ambitious plan to dramatically pull back from fossil fuels is perhaps most evident in the explosive growth of its nuclear energy program. The latest news suggests China may be tantalizingly ...
