With concrete already being poured, this startup’s molten salt–cooled reactors could be the first to deliver cheaper, safer ...

A record-breaking heat wave in Europe is warming up the river water that some nuclear power plants use for cooling, prompting operators to shut down at least three reactors at two sites. Late Sunday, ...

A French nuclear fusion reactor has smashed a world record by holding plasma at 50 million degrees Celsius for 22 minutes ...

Within the next two years, the US government plans to deploy its first microreactor which will also be the country’s first new reactor in five decades. The US Department of Energy recently awarded a ...

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 ...

amid extreme heat warnings in the region and concerns that the local river could heat up to 28 degrees, even without the inflow of heated cooling water. France has a total of 57 active nuclear ...

Countercurrent flow limitations (CCFL) represent a critical safety and operational consideration in pressurised water reactors (PWRs). In these systems, opposing flows of coolant and vapour within ...

From composition to performance, two recent studies show how additively manufactured steels measure up to their conventionally produced counterparts.
