In the extremely warm summer of 2013, several nuclear power plants across the world were forced to close down because of jellyfish. The sudden increase in jellyfish clogged the filters that cooled down the reactors, which led to the power plants to be shut down for immediate maintenance and ...
So you may have to divide the times quoted by about three to get more realistic numbers. However, different types of power plants have different efficiencies, and some conceptual high-temperature nuclear reactors may be able to get up to 50%. So we left out the conversions to give you a ...
The Idaho National Laboratory is not just any facility; it’s a pioneer in nuclear technology, operating since 1949. With over 6,000 employees, the INL has been instrumental in nuclear reactor research and development. The unexpected cyber intrusion by SiegedSec marks a significant security breach...
12. Austria once considered nuclear energy and the first of three planned nuclear power plants – Zwentendorf – was built. However, before the plant became operational, a binding referendum decided against the use of nuclear energy in 1978. Sadly, Austria was one of many European countries neg...

turning them from pests into menu items. Sarah Treanor Bois, during her Ph.D. research on invasive plants, attended a cook-off featuring dishes made from invasive species like nutria and bullfrog legs. Eating invasives is not just about satiating curiosity but also about drawing attention to eco...
Canada is the world leader in uranium mining. Uranium is used in nuclear power plants for producing electricity. The largest uranium mine of the world is located at Cigar Lake in northern Saskatchewan/Canada. Canada is also the largest supplier of energy, also including oil and gas, to the ...
There are several reports of apparently normal adult men nursing babies; one such man whose milk was analyzed secreted milk sugar, protein, and electrolytes at levels similar to those of mother's milk. All these facts suggest that it would have been easy for male lactation to evolve; perhaps...
