Scientists have been building nuclear weapons for more than 80 years, but crafting this technology remains a challenge.

Radioisotope thermoelectric generators do not rely on chemical reactions like the batteries in your phone. Instead, they rely on the radioactive decay of elements to produce heat and eventually ...

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors in which either the fuel and/or the coolant is a molten salt. Molten salt is salt which liquifies at elevated temperatures and can store ...

Innovative reactor developer Newcleo has acquired a site in Chusclan in the Gard department in southern France on which it ...

When you think of innovative advancements in nuclear power technology, places like the Idaho National Laboratory and the ...

A groundbreaking technology in the UK has opened the door to transforming radioactive waste into usable energy.

Many Ways To Split Atoms Nuclear power is often associated with massive power plants, giant cooling towers, and the fear of nuclear meltdown. This is progressively changing thanks to the emergence ...

Netherlands-based start-up startup Thorizon, has secured €20m ($16.8m) in funding to accelerate the development of its ...

The B Reactor Museum Association is hosting a free event to honor the contributions of women at the Hanford Site during the ...

As the nuclear reactor “burns” U-235, the concentration of U-235 decreases while radioactive by-products such as fissile plutonium increase. Eventually, the nuclear chain reaction can no longer be ...
