A compact 3 kg (6.6 lbs) detector has allowed scientists to detect elusive antineutrinos from a nuclear reactor.

Neutrinos are extremely elusive elementary particles. Day and night, 60 billion of them stream from the sun through every ...

Researchers pointed out that lithium can melt, creating a self-repairing layer over the inner components of a fusion vessel.

Advanced nuclear energy is on the upswing thanks also to supportive state policy, expected load growth, technology companies’ interest in “clean firm” power and federal tax incentives that largely ...

BWX Technologies (BWXT) said work has begun to fabricate the reactor core for the Pele microreactor at the BWXT ...

Another recent study was even able to use the antineutrino signature to point back to the HFIR reactor core." This paper is the 10th physics publication based on data collected by PROSPECT in 2018.

Rosatom revealed that at power unit No. 6 of Novovoronezh NPP, a batch of fifth-generation nuclear fuel assemblies TVS-5 has been loaded into the VVER-1200 reactor core for the first time.

NANO Nuclear Energy Inc has assembled the first reactor core hardware of its ZEUS solid core battery reactor for initial non-nuclear testing. The fuel element being prepared for testing (Image: NANO ...

The U-235 that Core Power is planning to use in its reactors is slightly more powerful at 200 MeV—or 200 million electron volts—which releases 1.8 million more times the energy of the same ...

Crews will replace 256 of the 764 nuclear fuel assemblies in the reactor core with new fuel. The biennual fuel outages allow all fuel to be replaced on a rotating schedule every six years.

1978 Unit 2 of Three Mile Island went online. March 28, 1979 One of the two reactors at Three Mile Island experienced a mechanical or electrical failure in water pumps that helped cool its core.
