SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / June 24, 2025 / General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) announced today ...

The zirconium fuel rods at Fukushima Reactor 4 fuel pool will not spontaneously explode on contact with air. For it is zirconium powder that is explosive, not zirconium solids or tubes.

SiGA is a silicon carbide (SiC) composite material that forms the basis for the development of nuclear reactor fuel rods that ...

When a fuel rod is made, enriched uranium is baked into inch-long pellets and inserted into metal tubes. In the belly of a reactor, the atoms of this fuel split apart, releasing tremendous amounts ...

But radioactive fuel rods still sit -- slowly cooling off -- in the reactor's cooling pond, which is 22 feet wide, 28 feet long, and up to 36 feet deep.

This brings the number of leaking fuel rods to four since the latest refueling cycle started in April 1999 at the North Perry Village plant. The Akron-based FirstEnergy Corp.-owned plant decreased … ...

The Fuel Rod's projectile used to be able to bounce off walls, a feature that the Fuel Rod SPNKr lacks. The lack of a similarly unique feature has fans upset, though not quite up in arms.

In the world of nuclear energy, the Idaho National Laboratory this week accomplished a first-of-its-kind test. The experiment proved successful and could ultimately decrease the amount of waste ...

Lightbridge plutonium disposition fuel variant consumes 5.5 times more plutonium per fuel rod than mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel. Lightbridge’s proprietary next-generation nuclear fuel technology features ...

The Fuel Rod SPNKr may be the star attraction of the Spring Update, but Halo Studios is also bringing back a classic Halo 2 game mode in the form of the bomb-planting Assault.
