Russia tests next-gen nuclear fuel to boost 600 MWe reactor’s efficiency, cut wasteNuclear fission reactors struggle with two key problems: poor fuel utilization and complicated radioactive waste handling. To ...
Powering spacecraft with solar energy may not seem like a challenge, given how intense the sun's light can feel on Earth.
Since the first nuclear explosion in history during the Trinity test in 1945, nuclear weapons have significantly shaped the ...
The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has cleared a major hurdle in making a Generation IV nuclear reactor practical. Using 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 ...
Nuclear fission technology refers to the process of splitting an atom into smaller nuclei. The two element’s atoms which are generally used in this process are uranium-235 or plutonium-239. Nuclear ...
