Executives in the nuclear industry generally agree that small modular reactors won't reach a commercial stage until the 2030s. An ambitious effort byNuScaleto deploy SMRs at a site in Idaho was canceled last year, as the project's price tag ballooned from $5 billion to $9 billion due to...
An understanding of the basics of nuclear fission is needed to fully understand the processes that have led to the world's three major commercial nuclear accidents. Nuclear power plants use heat generated in the atomic fission to generate steam and produce electrical power. The fuels for reactors...
nuclear power experts, computer models and other analyses have consistently shown for decades that a problem in the older boiling-water reactors employed at Fukushima Daiichi would become disastrous because of a flawed safety system that houses the nuclear fuel, known as the Mark I containment. ...
Conditions for Nuclear Fusion When hydrogen atoms fuse, the nuclei must come together. However, the protons in each nucleus will tend to repel each other because they have the same charge (positive). If you've ever tried toplace two magnets togetherand felt them push apart from each...
Deep Fission has come up with a new solution to the economic and safety problems of nuclear power that is, to say the least, novel. The idea is to build a reactor that's under 30 inches (76 cm) wide and stick it down a mile-deep (1.6-km) drill shaft.
Physics of Nuclear Fusion: Reactions Current nuclear reactors use nuclear fission to generate power. In nuclear fission, you get energy from splitting one atom into two atoms. In a conventional nuclear reactor, high-energy neutrons split heavy atoms of uranium, yielding large amounts of energy, ...
The United States has 93 nuclear reactors operating with capacity to generate more than 95 gigawatts of electricity,according to the IAEAThat is more than any other country by far. Many of those reactors should be viable for some time to come, as nuclear reactors can be licensed to operat...

Alerts have been issued on radiation levels in Japanese milk, spinach, leeks and tap water. Food shipments from four prefectures around the Fukushima nuclear power planthave been suspended. So how hazardous are the radiation levels found, and should people panic about what they’re eating?
Nuclear fusion is a significant topic deserving of attention due to its potential to address major global challenges and revolutionize the energy landscape. Here's why it's important and why you should care: ● Addressing Climate Change and Energy Security: The world faces a pressing need to tra...
