A reactor in Tehran is a monument to the U.S. relationship with Iran when the country was led by a secular, pro-Western ...

When an atom breaks apart, it gives out energy and more neutrons, which can then split other atoms. Get enough atoms splitting and you have the chain reaction needed for a bomb blast ...

The main risk inside the storage facility is the chemical toxicity of uranium hexafluoride gas and fluoride compounds ...

First Light instead plans to supply nuclear power companies with its amplifier technology, which boosts the power of fusion reactions - John Lawrence A UK nuclear fusion company has suffered a ...

STOUGHTON – Researchers and state lawmakers are hoping to turn Wisconsin into the "Silicon Valley" for nuclear technology research and development, ushering in a new era of clean energy ...

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 ...

That collision—called nuclear fission—releases more neutrons that react with more atoms, creating a chain reaction. A byproduct of nuclear reactions, plutonium, can also be used as nuclear fuel.

EDF has reduced its electricity production at nuclear sites in France in response to soaring temperatures. Three reactors are currently affected, although the energy provider has said "there is no ...

India's 500MWe Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) at Kalpakkam near Chennai has been granted permission by the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) to start loading fuel and begin nuclear ...

Researchers develop a new type of rumor propagation model, taking inspiration from nuclear reactions. Their model can provide fresh insights on how online disinformation spreads and how to combat it.

Global South countries have condemned nuclear saber-rattling publicly in regional and international forums, ... U.S. policymakers have been constantly puzzled or frustrated about the reactions of the ...
