Now that we can access uranium from the international market, the thermal reactor capacity is on a growth path. This scale-up is an opportunity to enable a faster transition to thorium-based nuclear ...

Nuclear astrophysics is dedicated to unravelling the complex nuclear processes that govern stellar evolution, explosive cosmic events and the synthesis of elements throughout the Universe. Central to ...

LWRs dominate the global nuclear reactor market and officials acknowledge that without embedding Indian firms in international supply chains linked to this technology, breaking into the export market ...

It was in the 1960s that the United States tried something new. It was called Project Pluto and its goal was to develop a nuclear-powered missile. However, the project was left uncompleted due to ...

The existing U.S. nuclear power fleet could deliver nine reactors' worth of added capacity. EPRI experts explain how—and what comes next.

- The waste products from a thorium reactor are far less dangerous than those of a uranium reactor - The thorium fuel can be made into some kind of gel-like substance that is essentially its own ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...

Before Israeli strikes on Friday, Washington and Tehran had held several rounds of talks on Iran's nuclear programme, as concerns mounted about its rapid expansion. Iran has significantly ramped up ...
