The siren song of spent nuclear fuel reprocessing beckons again, selling a sweet melody that, actually, threatens to stymie hopes of a nuclear energy revival in the United States. A tantalizing ...

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. Reprocessing And Pyroprocessing ...

Today, a look at why we’re stuck with 3.6 million pounds of nuclear waste at San Onofre — and a glimpse of the future. The folks who dreamed up America’s peaceful nuclear power program always ...

The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has cleared a major hurdle in making a Generation IV nuclear reactor practical. Using a new process, a team has developed a new way of processing fuel ...

Rosatom revealed that at power unit No. 6 of Novovoronezh NPP, a batch of fifth-generation nuclear fuel assemblies TVS-5 has been loaded into the VVER-1200 reactor core for the first time.

Rosatom schedules say the fresh fuel fabrication plant will come first, in 2023, and the reactor will come last, in 2026. The BREST-OD-300 unit will run on mixed uranium-plutonium nitride fuel, ...
