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 ...

Nuclear waste is still an issue with SMRs. Having more waste per megawatt hour (MWh) than larger reactors is not a good byproduct — as noted in Stanford University’s May 30, 2022, study, which ...

Finnish radioactive waste management company Posiva has received permission from the Radiation & Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK – Säteilyturvakeskus) to produce backfill material, which is bentonite ...

The government officially decided on its basic energy plan at a Feb. 18 Cabinet meeting, outlining a mid- to long-term policy trajectory that emphasizes nuclear power and reducing carbon emissions.

Two thousand tons of spent nuclear fuel are added by active nuclear reactors every year, and as of 2022 there were 65,000 tons already in interim storage (Gómez 2022, 114).

The Municipality of South Bruce was one of two regions being considered to host spent nuclear fuel from Bruce Power, the nuclear plant located about 50 km away.

It allows the recycling of used nuclear fuel, thus helping to close the fuel cycle. In Russia, MOX fuel is currently produced for fast neutron reactors. Uranium-plutonium REMIX fuel has been developed ...

The U.S. nuclear-power renaissance is plunging ahead without a long-term solution for some 92,500 metric tons of spent fuel piled up at power plant sites around the country.

Fuel cycle modelling has demonstrated the ability of Moltex Energy Canada’s Stable Salt Reactor – Wasteburner (SSR-W) to consume used nuclear fuel. The peer-reviewed research paper, Wasteburning ...
