But what happens inside a nuclear power plant to bring such marvel and misery into being? Imagine following a volt of electricity back through the wall socket, all the way through miles of power lines to thenuclear reactorthat generated it. You'd encounter the generator that produces the spark...
women, and others can choose a career as electrical power engineers. The profession is gender-neutral. Anyone with a good grasp of technology and an in-depth interest in the electrical field can choose to become an electrical power engineer. In order to excel as an electrical ...
How Long Can a Nuclear Reactor Last?Paul Voosen
I think of these probably-defunct devices as my own rough equivalent of nuclear waste, but instead of radioactive isotopes they may hold old personal data that I don’t want to see leak out. That’s “may” because unlike spent reactor fuel that we know has to be kept safe, these gadg...
a long time before people trust robot surgeons commanded by distant humans, Rygaard said. But there are other places for remote-control operators who need real-time interaction -- a robot crawling around the radioactive Fukushima nuclear reactor disaster site, perhaps, or examining a possible bomb...

Russian Nuclear Know-How Pours into Iran ; A Civilian Power Reactor Being Built in Bushehr Triggers Fears That Russian Scientists Are Secretly Sharing Missile Technology
To our disappointment, modeling showed that thorium-fueled fission would eventually fizzle out. But the models also demonstrated that if we ran the reactor mainly on depleted uranium, a cheap and abundant alternative, it could hum along at high power for decades on a single load of fuel. Over...
[20] of the challenges behind ensuring the safety of a nuclear reactor. These challenges go beyond the pure system engineering but include operational and cultural issues that might well contribute to catastrophic accidents if not properly accounted for, as thought for the Chernobyl disaster [26]....
