This tiny chip can withstand temperatures up to 1,500 degrees and could one day sit inside the core of a nuclear reactor, delivering critical real-time data. Reading time 2 minutes Generating nuclear ...

This sensor developed by University of Maine researchers can withstand both the in-core radiation levels and the extreme temperatures that exist within these advanced nuclear reactors. Nuclear power ...

Preliminary testing has taken place of an ultrasound system which is designed to provide an additional picture of the BN-800 fast neutron reactor core at Beloyarsk Nuclear Power Plant. Beloyarsk unit ...

Scientists just brought us one step closer to the dream of unlimited power. On November 17 at the Nevada National Security Site, a nuclear energy startup called Valar Atomics achieved zero-power ...

Sometimes an idea is so elegant that it really deserves to work. One such is a proposal put forward by the boss of Deep Fission, an aspiring nuclear-power firm in Berkeley, California. Elizabeth ...

Electrical equipment housed within auxiliary buildings of nuclear power plants—such as control panels, transformers, and emergency generators—are particularly vulnerable to vibrations. Notably, during ...

Core disruptive accidents (CDAs) in sodium-cooled fast reactors represent a severe class of events in which the integrity of the reactor core is rapidly compromised, leading to the dispersal of molten ...
