Small modular reactors are compact nuclear reactors that can be combined to create large-scale power plants. Here, authors demonstrate the practical feasibility of a multi-modular design in the ...

Nuclear energy accounts for 10 percent of the world’s energy, and estimates say that by 2050, that number could increase by 2.5 times. That increase in nuclear energy also means an increase in ...

If you would like to learn more about the IAEA’s work, sign up for our weekly updates containing our most important news, multimedia and more. Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors ...

Dinan outlined the concept at Space-Comm Expo in London, which also featured speakers from the European Space Agency, UK Space Agency, NASA as well as Virgin Galactic's Sir Richard Branson "We are ...

Unlike nuclear fission, which involves the splitting of atoms, nuclear fusion works by fusing lighter atomic nuclei to form a heavier atom. This releases large amounts of energy without any carbon ...

In the sun, the extreme pressure produced by its immense gravity create the conditions for fusion to happen. The amount of energy produced from fusion is very large — four times as much as nuclear ...

The team in Bristol have come up with a whole new approach, using nuclear fusion rather than fission. And rather than requiring a new nuclear plant, which would cost about £400m to build ...

It’s a remarkable turn of events that portends a new nuclear landscape. America’s European and Asian allies haven’t contemplated their nuclear futures this earnestly — and openly — since ...

One of the consequences of the boom in artificial intelligence is the need for more electricity. The data centers that house the computers that crunch the numbers gobble up a lot of power.
