General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) confirmed that it reached another significant milestone in its Silicon ...

The tiny new fuel cells, developed by researchers at the Nuclear Futures Institute at Bangor University in Wales, are roughly the size of poppy seeds, which are around 0.04 inch (1 millimeter) across.

T he first batch of nuclear fuel pellets with uranium levels enriched to eight percent was pressed at Westinghouse Electric Company’s Springfield manufacturing facility in Lancashire, UK ...

A demonstration accident-resistant nuclear fuel assembly has been loaded into the core of unit 6 of the Hanul nuclear power ...

These pellets are what is usually referred to as ceramic fuel pellets, which contrasts with the more rarely used metallic fuel types (e.g. ZrU) that saw use in some reactors until the 1980s.

In March 2023, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) gave approval for the use of Westinghouse's ADOPT fuel pellets in pressurised water reactors in the USA. In October, Southern Nuclear ...

The world’s commercial nuclear power plants, 95% of which are water-cooled, have generally relied on a mature front-end supply chain for low-enriched uranium oxide (UO 2) pellet fuel.

Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has fabricated roughly two dozen commercial-grade fuel pellets of high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) uranium dioxide (UO 2), the Department of Energy (DOE ...

Scientists have developed a nuclear fuel source no larger than a seed, which NASA will test for use in future moon missions. Scientists in the U.K. have created mini, seed-sized nuclear fuel cells ...
