NANO Nuclear Energy Inc has assembled the first reactor core hardware of its ZEUS solid core battery reactor for initial ...

One of the basic properties of nuclear fission is the requirement of a constant flux of thermal neutrons to drive the splitting of heavy nuclei. In a conventional reactor these neutrons are ...

The North Carolina-based company is developing small modular reactors and expects to net $280 million from the deal. Before ...

The Master in Nuclear Engineering is a Joint Master ETH Zurich – EPF Lausanne in cooperation with the Paul Scherrer Institute. The first semester takes place at EPFL; the second semester at ETH Zurich ...

From gigantic planets and stars to tiny cells, all matter in our universe is made of building blocks called atoms. In scientific terms, the energy released from the core or the nucleus of an atom ...

There are a number of different nuclear fusion reactions happening in the Sun. The simplest is when four hydrogen nuclei become one helium nuclei.

Small modular reactors are compact nuclear reactors that can be combined to create large-scale power plants. Here, authors demonstrate the practical feasibility of a multi-modular design in the ...

In what can only be called a phoenix-like moment, a decision has been made to wake up the nuclear power plant at Three Mile ...

Many of the features of the reactor are designed to control the speed of the reaction and the temperature inside the shielding. An uncontrolled fission reaction is the basis of an atomic bomb.
