New Nuclear Technologies The next generation of nuclear technology is being developed now Leading the way in new nuclear technologies The challenges of climate change and the aim to reduce CO2 emissions have led many governments to rethink their country’s energy mix. In many jurisdictions, new nuc...
In many cases, countries with a strong background in nuclear energy represent a specific technology. Finland is different. Finland has no nuclear reactor technology of its own and therefore we can serve others on an unbiased and neutral basis, using our experiences related to multiple technologies...
One type of inherently safe technology, TRi-structural ISOtropic particle fuel (TRISO), consists of a kernel of uranium-based fuel surrounded by three layers of carbon- and ceramic-based materials chemically and structurally resistant to degradation in a reactor environment. The resulting fuel particle...
It’s true that the low-level, short-lived radioactive tritium waste it produces represents no serious danger, and the technology means that meltdowns are impossible. But costs are still high and time lines are still long—ITER’s fusion reactor is massively more expensive than origin...
While we have yet to complete a nuclear fusion reactor on Earth itself, the effects offered by this process could reach space much sooner. The new rocket engine is being developed byPulsar Fusion, an aerospace firm based out of Bletchley. So far, the company expects the fusion rocket engine...
utilities hangs on the functionality of a new type of nuclear reactor that's far smaller than traditional reactors. About two dozen U.S. companies are developing advanced reactors, with some that could come online by the end of the decade if the technology succeeds and federal regulators ...
China has launched a project in nuclear power technology to advance research on core technologies of a third-generation pressurized water reactor and a fourth-generation high-temperature gas cooled reactor. The goal is to boost the country’s independent innovation in nuclear power technology. In ...

fission reactor, in a nuclear reactor, current nuclear reactor, you have to put an enormous amount of effort for the reaction to not run away, to not become explosive in a way. Whereas in a fusion reactor, you have to put an enormous amount of effort for the reaction to actually ...
