A Ph.D. student took to TikTok to debunk a false claim that nuclear energy involves burning fossil fuels. Ms. Nuclear ...

The typically ceramic fuel pellets are then inserted into a fission reactor and the U-235 is exposed to a neutron source that then kickstarts a nuclear chain reaction.

All nuclear fission power reactors run on fuel containing uranium and other isotopes, but fueling a nuclear reactor is a lot more complicated than driving up to them with a dump truck filled with ...

Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has fabricated roughly two dozen commercial-grade fuel pellets of high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) uranium dioxide (UO 2), the Department of Energy (DOE ...

Westinghouse is creating a center of excellence for Low Enriched Uranium Plus (LEU+) fuel manufacturing in South Carolina to reduce the number of outages needed in nuclear plants.

The university had proposed burning paper and plastic pellets at its power plant as a way to shift from coal and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The 30,000 pound munition, equipped by the U.S. B-2 Spirit stealth bomber may be the only aerial bomb that can reach Iran's ...

Scientists Achieve Nuclear Fusion Breakthrough With Blast of 192 Lasers The advancement by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory researchers will be built on to further develop fusion energy ...

The report from Princeton researcher Timothy Searchinger and Yale economist Steve Berry cuts against the idea at the core of the growing wood pellet industry: that burning trees for fuel actually ...

Irradiated fuel assemblies—essentially bundles of fuel rods with zirconium alloy cladding sheathing uranium dioxide fuel pellets—that have been removed from a nuclear reactor (spent fuel) generate a ...
