For a second time in three weeks, a swarm of jellyfish has forced the closure of a nuclear reactor in France in another curious incident in which jellyfish entered the filters of the water cooling ...

A critical shortage of fuel for nuclear fusion reactors may have a rather counterintuitive solution. A physicist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) says that fusion reactor fuel could be ...

The Reactor Pilot Program has its pros, but it needs to be paired with money and action from Congress and the presidency. Last month, the US Department of Energy (DOE) announced the selection of ten ...

Although specifications are scant, they appear to encourage scalability, suggesting this is just the beginning for Moon-based power systems. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens ...

Backers of nuclear energy envision dozens of shiny new nuclear reactors being built all over America over the next decade. For now, the nuclear renaissance looks more like a tag sale, where old ...

A Wyoming town is divided over plans to site a nuclear microreactor facility less than two miles from residential homes. Officials say the proposal will boost the local economy, as well as opening up ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have shown that a small bench-top reactor can enhance nuclear fusion rates by electrochemically loading a metal with deuterium fuel. Unlike massive ...

Apart from the geopolitical importance, there are other reasons why this move is critically important. A source of nuclear energy will be necessary for visiting Mars, because solar energy is weaker ...

Using a small bench-top reactor, researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have demonstrated that electrochemically loading a solid metal target with deuterium fuel can boost nuclear ...
