US sets target to triple nuclear energy capacity by 2050 with 200 GW expansionThe US sets an ambitious target to add 200 GW of new nuclear capacity by 2050, aiming to triple its 2020 levels.
If you’ve ever wanted to operate your own nuclear reactor, you probably aren’t going to get one in your backyard shop. However, thanks to the University of Manchester, you can get a simulated ...
He’s done it for real. His memories of working at a Westinghouse Pressurized Water Reactor over 30 years ago are so sharp that he’s been building a nuclear reactor “simulator” running on ...
Age of oldest reactor on site based on date operating license issued.
The first generation of nuclear power plants were built in the 1950s and 1960s and were based on light water reactor technology. These reactors use water as a coolant and neutron moderator ...
In the 1970s and 80s, more than a hundred nuclear reactors were built in the United States. They promised abundant, safe, “clean” energy, free from the pollution associated with coal and other fossil ...
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 ...
A Japanese nuclear reactor that restarted last week for the first time in more than 13 years after it survived a massive earthquake and tsunami that badly damaged the nearby Fukushima nuclear ...
China has built a land-based prototype nuclear reactor for a large surface warship, signaling its progress toward developing a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. The project, located at the Longwei ...
Japan appears eager to restart more nuclear reactors that were shut down after the Fukushima disaster, but many plant workers at the power companies have no experience operating such equipment ...
A look at the research revealing China's work on prototype nuclear reactor to power aircraft carrier
U.S. researchers have concluded that China has built a land-based prototype nuclear reactor to power future aircraft carriers BANGKOK -- China has built a land-based prototype nuclear reactor for ...
