The nuclear fuel cycle is the series of industrial processes that turns uranium into electricity. Claire Maden takes a look ...

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) defines uranium as a Low Specific Activity material. In its natural state, it consists of three isotopes (U-234, U-235 and U-238). Other isotopes that ...

U.S. and Iran engage in talks over Iran's nuclear program amid escalating tensions and potential military threats.

Enrichment centrifuge separates U-235 from natural uranium for nuclear power and weapons, using centrifugal force in stages.

This innovation allows uranium-238—the most abundant uranium isotope on Earth—to capture additional neutrons and generate reusable plutonium fuel. The result? A dramatic reduction in the need ...

According to several of the sources, German forces placed many concentration camp prisoners at the test site as human guinea pigs ...
