Called the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak (SMART), this reactor is part of the University of Seville’s effort to not only make fusion energy possible, but also economically competitive for grid ...

SMART (Small Aspect Ratio Tokamak), the world's only fusion reactor with 'negative triangularity' constructed at the University of Sevilla in Spain, produced its first plasma. This is an important ...

A tiny neutrino detector has found its footing in a fresh setting — at a nuclear reactor. Conventional detectors of the subatomic particles require metric tons of material. But the new detector ...

Renditions of NANO Nuclear Energy’s newly acquired technologies: Pylon for terrestrial (bottom) and space (top) applications and the Modular Micro Reactor (MMR®) Energy System (right).

Their findings raise some concerns whilst reducing others; for example, quartz crystals in concrete can heal themselves, potentially allowing some reactors to run for longer than initially thought ...

Initially developed in the 1950s, molten salt reactors have benefits in higher efficiencies and lower waste generation. Some designs do not require solid fuel, which eliminates the need for ...

We’re seeing efforts to boost their power output, extend the lifetime of old reactors, and even reopen facilities that have shut down. That’s good news for climate action, because nuclear ...

Clean energy has become a critical goal for the future, and U.S. organizations strive to meet it by fueling advanced reactors. LIS Technologies is aiding the national effort with its laser isotope ...

France is "far from ready" to build six nuclear reactors, the state's top audit body said on Tuesday, underlining the challenges the country faces in rejuvenating its ageing fleet of nuclear power ...

Now a nuclear startup wants to bury a small reactor underground, using depth as a substitute for the tons of concrete required to safeguard aboveground reactors. The company, Deep Fission ...

Undeniably, ambitions for a nuclear renaissance are thriving. The UK is building its first nuclear power station in 30 years, France plans a new fleet of 14 reactors and, in total worldwide, 100 new ...

The VVER-1,000 MWe reactor vessel for the sixth unit of the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KKNPP), being built to a Russian design, is being transported to the construction site in Tirunelveli ...
