A light-water reactor could provide more weapons-grade plutonium, abetting the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s vow to expand his nuclear arsenal. By Choe Sang-Hun Reporting from Seoul In what ...

Hanford’s B Reactor supplied the plutonium for the Nagasaki bomb and launched the Atomic Age. ... McCue, now 84, retired from Hanford in 1972. He still makes his home in Richland.

Japan has taken a major step toward revolutionizing energy production with the launch of the JT-60SA reactor, the world’s largest experimental nuclear fusion reactor. This project represents a ...

Although his reactor didn’t quite reach the point of inducing fusion—meaning it didn’t produce neutrons—it still represents a remarkable achievement for such a small, home-built device.

Despite the recent breakthrough, commercially viable nuclear fusion is only infinitesimally closer than it was back in the 1980s when a contained fusion reaction – i.e. not occurring in the sun ...

Say hello to Helion Energy and their all-new, never-before-seen Trenta series nuclear fusion reactor. Until December 2022, this technology was purported to be one of the American private sector's ...

Though tritium has a much shorter half-life than Plutonium-239 (12.3 years compared to 24,000 years), the former has been known to leak into groundwater from nuclear power plants.

And in “Spider-Man 2,” from 2004, the well-meaning scientist Dr. Octavius (a.k.a. Doc Ock, played by Alfred Molina) creates a fusion reactor with an artificial sun at the center.

TAE Technologies' new reactor design may revolutionize fusion power, making it more affordable and efficient with self-generating containment fields.

The JET experimental fusion reactor at the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy, Oxfordshire. JET stands for Joint European Torus, the last word referencing the circular shape of the containment vessel ...
