Since the construction of the first commercial light water nuclear power plants (LWR) the design of their fuel rods hasn’t changed significantly. Mechanically robust and corrosion-resistant ...

We are looking at nuclear fuel rods (fast reactors) that use liquid metal (made from High Assay Low Enriched Uranium - HALEU) in the cooling process instead of water. According to me, this ...

The analysis revealed that the first piece of debris contained uranium and zirconium, a metal used in the cladding that encases fuel rods. JAEA said the debris was formed from melted nuclear fuel ...
