Nuclear advocates note that gigawatt reactors offer unmatched power density ... Regulators in Utah and Nevada require micro-seismic monitoring and traffic-light systems that shut down injection ...

The announcement came on Tuesday when Oklo, a startup that specializes in advanced nuclear fission microreactors, declared that it would be going public by merging with AltC Acquisition Corp. This ...

It also introduces the micro sensors/actuators devices as well ... from fundamentals of nuclear fission and fusion to more intricate topics such as reactor functionality, safety, and nuclear waste ...

Scientists have built the first-ever thorium reactor. Thorium is both more easily accessible and less dangerous than uranium—the most common fission fuel. The system also uses molten salt ...

Scientists in Gansu province in the country's west have achieved the milestone of reloading fuel to an operational nuclear fission reactor while it was running. The achievement shows fission ...

An international team of scientists has identified an unexpected region of heavy, neutron-deficient isotopes in the nuclear chart where nuclear fission is predominantly governed by an asymmetric mode.

The U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge Office of Environmental Management (OREM) notched a significant cleanup achievement after crews finished characterizing all 21 hot cells at a Cold War ...

The Nuclear Company, a nuclear startup, has raised $46 million to develop massive reactor sites, according to an SEC filing.

Further analysis revealed that the uranium had indeed undergone fission, the same process used in nuclear reactors. But this wasn’t the result of human interference, nor an alien species. The evidence ...

ITER engineers expect their tokamak reactor to generate 500 megawatts (Mw) of fusion power using just 50 Mw of input heating–compared with a nuclear fission reactor’s roughly 1,000 Mw of power ...
