Researchers have demonstrated a new technique that lets them create carbon-free hydrogen by splitting water at an atomic ...

Argonne National Laboratory is developing Gen-IV nuclear reactors, including sodium-cooled fast reactors (SFRs).

All U.S. nuclear reactors, which currently provide more than half of the nation's carbon-free power, are first- or ...

The automated facility has already made mockup nuclear fuel bundles for the BREST-OD-300 core design, as per Rosatom.

Small and advanced nuclear reactors are key to meeting future low-carbon dioxide energy demands, so much attention has been ...

Global interest in fast reactors has been growing since their inception in 1960 because they can provide efficient, safe and sustainable energy. Their closed fuel cycle can support long-term nuclear ...

As nuclear reactors popped up ever faster during the 1950s and 1960s, the worry about running out of uranium fuel became ever more present, which led to increased R&D in so-called fast reactors ...

While straightforward and in use since the 1950s in commercial settings, they are also essentially limited to uranium (U-235) fuel. This is where fast neutron reactors are highly attractive.

A DRACO ground test would need to capture plume exhaust fully to ensure no radioactive materials are released to the ...

The unit for fabrication/refabrication of nuclear fuel for the BREST-OD-300 lead-cooled fast neutron reactor has been put ...

Russia has launched its third cycle of testing innovative uranium-plutonium REMIX fuel at the Balakovo Nuclear Power Plant in Saratov Oblast, a key step that advances the closed nuclear fuel cycle ...
