NANO Nuclear Energy Inc has assembled the first reactor core hardware of its ZEUS solid core battery reactor for initial non-nuclear testing. The fuel element being prepared for testing (Image: NANO ...

Diagram showing basic design of a Mark 1 reactor like those of Fukushima Daiichi. When functioning properly, the reactor at center is filled with circulating water that bathes the contained fuel.

Experts will replace the reactor’s core components — akin to rebuilding the engine of a high-performance car. ATR is the world’s most powerful and adaptable test reactors.

A first-of-its-kind nuclear reactor that will use a 3D-printed core, advanced materials, and integrated sensors and controls is on track for completion by 2023. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, work ...

Fluid‐structure interaction (FSI) in nuclear reactor fuel assemblies is a multidisciplinary research area that explores the interplay between the coolant flow and the structural elements of fuel ...

The face of a CANDU reactor core, with hundreds of pressure tubes that are able to be refueled ... More during operation. With a Th-U mix fuel like ANEEL, they only need to be filled one-eighth of ...

The redesigned reactor will use uranium enriched at up to 3.67 percent as its fuel. With the removal of the reactor core at Arak, “Implementation Day”–a crucial milestone in the JCPOA ...

Salem 1 was taken off line on April 15 for what was expected to be a routine refueling outage. It was during a visual inspection of the reactor core that issues with a number of bolts were discovered.

Images taken by miniature drones from deep inside a badly damaged reactor at the Fukushima nuclear plant show displaced control equipment and misshapen materials but leave many questions ...

Large-scale high-resolution models yield better information that can drive down costs to eventually build a new, intrinsically safe nuclear reactor. So computational scientists and nuclear engineers ...

This story originally appeared on StateImpact Pennsylvania. Update: Constellation said Friday morning that it plans to re-start Three Mile Island’s Unit 1 reactor by 2028. The familiar towers at the ...
