Ultra-pure nuclear fuel is quietly becoming one of the most strategic technologies in the energy transition, with the United States racing to build its own supply for a new generation of compact ...

In a major step forward for nuclear safety, General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) has announced the successful completion of a 120-day irradiation testing period for its innovative SiGA ...

"A short and practical path." US government strikes 'groundbreaking' deal for next-gen nuclear power: 'Safe, reliable' first appeared on The Cool Down.

A France-based firm has achieved a new milestone with its PROtect Enhanced Accident Tolerant Fuel (E-ATF) technology, which operated with full-length fuel rods at the Gösgen Nuclear Power Plant in ...

Fission gas release constitutes a pivotal phenomenon in nuclear fuel behaviour during reactor operation. It involves the generation and migration of gaseous fission products—primarily xenon and ...

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 ...

Outdone only by nuclear fusion, the process of nuclear fission releases enormous amounts of energy. The ‘spicy rocks’ that are at the core of both natural and artificial fission reactors are generally ...

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 ...

Turning the dream of abundant, always-available power into reality demands breakthrough technology. Enter Stellaria's Stellarium reactor.

Is nuclear power the world's best hope for slowing climate change—or a high-stakes gamble that risks radioactive disaster? What if it's both? As the world seeks cleaner energy sources, nuclear energy ...
