The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has officially approved a key safety report related to the fuel that will be used in the KRONOS microreactor, developed by NANO Nuclear Energy.
Sandia National Laboratories serves a unique role in the nuclear security enterprise: lead systems integrator for the nuclear weapons program.
Researchers have developed a battery that can convert nuclear energy into electricity via light emission, a new study suggests.
Seventy-five years ago, the sweeping landscape of the Idaho desert over the Snake River Aquifer was a land of sagebrush, brown grass and lava rock. Today, the desert site facilities of Idaho National Laboratory are still home to sagebrush, brown grass and lava rock but also to of some of the world’s most cutting-edge nuclear fuel research and reactor prototype development.
The U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory is advancing next-generation nuclear energy through state-of-the-art research in sodium-cooled fast reactors. Argonne’s METL facility and experiments like THETA support safer, more efficient energy solutions to meet global demands.
Since its days as the National Reactor Testing Station, Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has focused on proving that what people think can’t be done is in fact possible. In the past decade, the lab has repeatedly demonstrated to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the nuclear industry that it can complete large, complicated nuclear projects on time and under budget.
Chad Parish works in the Low Activation Materials Development and Analysis laboratory at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Using microscopy and microstructural characterization, he reveals the intricate atomic structures of materials essential for developing safer and more economical nuclear reactors.
A research team at Los Alamos National Laboratory recently performed the first critical experiment with high assay low enriched uranium (HALEU) TRi-structural ISOtropic (TRISO) fuel in four decades at the National Criticality Experiments Research Center (NCERC) in Nevada. It achieved its objective of establishing an advanced reactor testbed.
East Tennessee has become the nerve center for a resurgent nuclear industry. Discover why the region, home of Oak Ridge National Laboratory, is so attractive to this next generation of nuclear businesses.
It’s a long way from the Donbas region of Ukraine to Idaho, but Ukrainian officials recently made the trip to learn about collecting evidence after a nuclear attack.
New eyes on nuclear: Technology industry reps, investment bankers visit INL to learn about financing opportunities, risks
Small modular reactors could play key role in rebuilding a clean economy in post-war Ukraine. Argonne scientists will assess the emerging technology in new research.
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has been selected as one of four implementers to support the Clean Steel Program in Ukraine, a key effort under the Foundational Infrastructure for the Responsible Use of Small Modular Reactor Technology (FIRST) Program launched in 2019.
The research team, led by Dr. In-Deok Park at KIMM, successfully developed an underwater laser cutting technology.
Since 1945 the world has lived under the threat of nuclear weapons. So far, we have thankfully managed to avoid the disaster caused by a nuclear war. Have we been lucky? As the world faces an increasingly uncertain global security environment, Open Nuclear Network (ONN), a Programme of PAX sapiens, and the Forecasting Research Institute (FRI) have produced a study, with the largest number of nuclear weapons policy experts ever asked to forecast the likelihood of and strategies for preventing nuclear catastrophes.
Groundbreaking agreement between Argonne and Constellation helps ensure equitable clean-energy decisions.
NATO said the exercise, dubbed “Steadfast Noon,” will run for two weeks and is a routine exercise that happens every October. ...
Dr. Ho-Il Ji from the Hydrogen Energy Materials Research Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) announced that they have developed a new synthesis method that can significantly reduce the sintering temperature required for the densification process of the electrolyte in next-generation high-efficiency protonic ceramic cells.
Discerning whether a nuclear reactor is being used to also create material for nuclear weapons is difficult, but capturing and analyzing antimatter particles has shown promise for monitoring what specific nuclear reactor operations are occurring, even from hundreds of miles away. Researchers have developed a detector that exploits Cherenkov radiation, sensing antineutrinos and characterizing their energy profiles from miles away as a way of monitoring activity at nuclear reactors. They proposed to assemble their device in northeast England and detect antineutrinos from reactors from all over the U.K. as well as in northern France.
