Commercial nuclear reactors all work pretty much the same way. Atoms of a radioactive material split, emitting neutrons.

Ministers have been urged to support the rollout of nuclear-powered ships that could halve the time it takes to move freight across the oceans or provide mobile sources of electricity.

Despite breaking ground under the Reactor Pilot Program, Oklo is unlikely to reach criticality by July 4th, 2026, since it still requires several DOE approvals before beginning construction. Oklo ...

An innovative algorithm for detecting collisions of high-speed particles within nuclear fusion reactors has been developed, inspired by technologies used to determine whether bullets hit targets in ...

“We do need to get our electricity house in order,” said Matthew Wald, former reporter for The New York Times, in a recent Zoom talk to Friends of Oak Ridge National Laboratory and others recently. He ...

Atomic energy is back, thanks to the ravenous demands of AI, favoritism from Trump, and the zeal of young entrepreneurs raising billions to build mini-reactors. The upside is unlimited. At Aalo ...

Nuclear power has a lot of potential, but many fear the dangers of nuclear meltdowns. Fortunately, some new reactors might make that possibility even slimmer.

The company said its NOVA Core achieved zero-power criticality at LANL's National Criticality Experiments Research Center on 17 November. (Image: Valar Atomics/X) Valar said it is collaborating with ...
