Nuclear fission technology is coming to Utah through a new collaboration between NuCube Energy and Utah San Rafael Energy Lab ...

Some heat is absorbed in the water—drawn from water bodies—used to cool these nuclear power plants and then returned, still with considerable heat, to these rivers or seas. The heat wave going on in ...

The Humber Estuary could get a floating power station and possibly a small nuclear reactor to generate energy. Chiltern Vital ...

Google has pledged to use only carbon-free sources of electricity to power its operations, a task made more challenging by ...

China is set to build the world’s first fusion-fission hybrid power plant, a revolutionary step in nuclear energy. The facility, known as the Xinghuo high-temperature superconducting reactor ...

Big tech companies are turning to nuclear power as AI ramps up demand for electricity.

ZEUS™ is being designed as a solid‑core battery reactor with a fully sealed core that uses a highly conductive moderator matrix to dissipate fission heat.

The advancement made at the Wendelstein 7-X reactor is another to the list of breakthroughs that brings the world a ...

Now a nuclear startup wants to bury a small reactor underground, using depth as a substitute for the tons of concrete required to safeguard aboveground reactors. The company, Deep Fission, signed ...

The 100 MWth fission heat source is designed to be factory-built and fit into a standard 40-foot shipping container, enabling transportation via trucks, trains, or ships.

1. Nuclear fission is a process used to generate electricity in nuclear power stations. The fuel for nuclear fission is usually uranium-235.

In these liquid fuel designs, the fission products are dissolved into the molten salt, which is able to circulate through the reactor core where it undergoes fission and generates heat. The heat is ...
