Burnable absorbers are key components in modern nuclear reactor design, serving to mitigate the excess reactivity inherent in fresh reactor cores while simultaneously enhancing operational safety and ...

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 ...

Reactor radiation-shielding optimization methods are proposed by combining many-objective evolutionary algorithms with particle-transport calculation software that can optimize the reactor ...

It's based on the German AVR power plant that ran for 21 years and did the same safety test as at the China reactor, except that the former was an experimental reactor, while the one at Shidao Bay is ...

In the proverbial shadow of the Naughton Power Plant, a station in Kemmerer, Wyoming, that will stop burning coal at the end of this year, TerraPower is constructing what it calls “the only advanced, ...
