Researchers at ORNL have successfully designed, 3D printed, and tested a crucial component for their High Flux Isotope ...

Plasma-based nuclear fusion reactors have been around for a while, but they’ve long been unwieldy. PPPL’s reactor is a glass vacuum tube coated in a 3D-printed nylon shell. The hell holds in ...

Nuclear fusion, the process that powers the sun, holds great potential as a clean, abundant energy source. However, harnessing this power requires complex technology, such as tokamaks and doughnut ...

You can now see how nuclear fusion takes place in a doughnut-shaped receptacle called a tokamak, thanks to a new 3D visualization by the École Spéciale de Lausanne. Nuclear fusion is the ...

US team develops scalable, safe nuclear fuel recycling using advanced tech to cut waste and boost energy recovery.

TCR will be the 14th nuclear reactor to be built at ORNL. "We have been aggressively developing the capability to make this programme a reality over the last several months, and our effort has proven ...

Roy has a new four-year, $1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to study the possibilities of using additive manufacturing, known as 3D printing, to create shields and components that ...

The miniature 3D-printed Aqueous Homogenous Reactor reactor overcomes the ... Now startup California Thermodynamics is offering miniature nuclear reactors to produce synthetic fuel on site ...
