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

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

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

Typically, the incredible energy released by nuclear fission inside the reactor’s core is used to heat water, which generates high pressure steam that powers turbines connected to electrical ...

Further improvements in nuclear propulsion system efficiency beyond nuclear-electric (NEP) are possible. The fission process accelerates the fission fragments to velocities between 3-5% of the speed ...

The more efficiently we can generate thrust, the less waste heat produced. Can we have our cake and eat it too? Can we have a non-thermal nuclear propulsion minimizing waste heat? * Yes. By making the ...

IMSR heat transfer loopsCredit: Terrestrial Energy media page Terrestrial Energy USA recently announced that it had achieved a significant progress step in its push to move from a reactor design ...

Solar, wind, geothermal, hydropower, solar heat, fission & hydrogen have roles to play in the energy mix of the future. The priority, however, is to prepare for the electrification of everything ...

EXPERIMENTS have been performed in the reactor Pluto as a stage in the development of cæsium-neutralized diodes for the direct conversion of fission heat to electric power. This work is similar ...

Not only does nuclear fission provide the majority of the electricity that powers our homes, but it has also proved how destructive the power within the atom can be.

These devices will need to dump a lot of "extra" heat into the Red Planet air; a conversion efficiency of 30% means 70% of the fission heat remains, after all. So they'll come equipped with radiators.
