"A short and practical path." US government strikes 'groundbreaking' deal for next-gen nuclear power: 'Safe, reliable' first ...

Materials scientists at Stony Brook University in New York are developing increasingly resilient nuclear reactors designed to conduct fission and fusion reactions even under severe radiation and high ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Although nuclear fission, which powers nuclear reactors, can provide plenty of energy, it also produces potentially dangerous ...

A five-dimensional model accurately predicts the asymmetric fission of mercury isotopes, advancing our understanding of nuclear fission beyond traditional heavy elements such as uranium and plutonium ...

Outdone only by nuclear fusion, the process of nuclear fission releases enormous amounts of energy. The ‘spicy rocks’ that are at the core of both natural and artificial fission reactors are generally ...

Building on past use of nuclear systems, NASA and the Department of Energy are developing small nuclear fission reactors for ...

Is nuclear power the world's best hope for slowing climate change—or a high-stakes gamble that risks radioactive disaster? What if it's both? As the world seeks cleaner energy sources, nuclear energy ...

Fission gas release constitutes a pivotal phenomenon in nuclear fuel behaviour during reactor operation. It involves the generation and migration of gaseous fission products—primarily xenon and ...

California-based nuclear startup company Deep Fission, which is proposing to place microreactors deep underground, and Endeavour Energy LLC have committed to co-develop 2 GW of nuclear energy to power ...

BERKELEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Deep Fission Inc. (Deep Fission), a pioneering nuclear energy company placing small modular reactors (SMRs) a mile underground, today announced that it has joined a ...

Although nuclear fission, which powers nuclear reactors, can provide plenty of energy, it also produces potentially dangerous radioactive waste as a by-product. Now, researchers say they may have ...
