The $85 million growth investment finances the development of lead-cooled small reactors that use recycled fuel ...

A San Diego-based firm has achieved a breakthrough in the development and testing of a new type of nuclear fuel cladding technology. General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) confirmed that it ...

Nuclear fuel rods that work more efficiently, last much longer, and minimize nuclear waste may soon help generate more sustainable energy sources. Interesting Engineering shared the latest development ...

Spent nuclear fuel pools are designed to cool fuel rods after they come out of a nuclear reactor. While powering a nuclear ...

Flow-induced vibration (FIV) poses a substantial challenge in nuclear reactor design, particularly in the context of fuel rod assemblies. These vibrations arise from the complex fluid–structure ...

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 ...

The operator of Japan’s ruined Fukushima nuclear power plant began removing radioactive fuel rods Monday at one of three reactors that melted down after an earthquake and a tsunami in 2011, a major ...

IDAHO FALLS – At the intersection of mathematics and nature, scientists have found intriguing and often beautiful designs. Pinecone scales and sunflower seeds spiral according to a curve derived from ...

Tokyo Electric Power Company Holdings Inc. said early Friday that it has shut down a reactor at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power ...
