Study models the consequences of failure at Egypt's El-Dabaa nuclear reactor and warns the impact would extend up to 50 miles ...

Commercial nuclear reactors all work pretty much the same way. Atoms of a radioactive material split, emitting neutrons.

Countercurrent flow limitations (CCFL) represent a critical safety and operational consideration in pressurised water reactors (PWRs). In these systems, opposing flows of coolant and vapour within ...

Deep Fission, an advanced nuclear energy company redefining the industry by placing small modular pressurized water reactors in boreholes a mile underground, today announced the official name of its ...

Last Energy has secured $100m Series C funding to advance its PWR-5 microreactor pilot at Texas A&M-RELLIS, targeting ...

The UK has confirmed that Wylfa on the island of Anglesey, North Wales, will host three Rolls-Royce small modular reactors (SMRs) that could deliver first power in the mid-2030s—launching a ...

OKLO's fast reactor design taps decades of proven tech, aiming for safer operation and the ability to recycle nuclear waste.

The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has issued the final rule certifying NuScale Power’s small modular reactor (SMR), making it the seventh reactor design – and the first SMR – to be cleared by ...

A nuclear reactor is a device that generates heat through a controlled release of energy from splitting the atoms of certain elements. In nuclear power plants, the heat produces steam, which drives ...
