The system utilizes silicon carbide-wrapped high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) fuel, which is engineered to withstand temperatures twice as high as the fuel claddings currently utilized in ...

A France-based firm has achieved a new milestone with its PROtect Enhanced Accident Tolerant Fuel (E-ATF) technology, which operated with full-length fuel rods at the Gösgen Nuclear Power Plant in ...

Nuclear fuel rods that work more efficiently, last much longer, and minimize nuclear waste may soon help generate more sustainable energy sources. Interesting Engineering shared the latest development ...

Flow-induced vibration (FIV) poses a substantial challenge in nuclear reactor design, particularly in the context of fuel rod assemblies. These vibrations arise from the complex fluid–structure ...

As Wyoming communities recoil from nuclear waste, the Idaho National Lab continues to embrace waste as an untapped ...

Lightbridge offers high-potential nuclear fuel innovation, but remains pre-revenue with rising losses and no commercial contracts yet. Solid cash reserves allow at least two years of runway, but ...

COVERT, MI – The long-anticipated restart of the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant took a major step forward this fall as new uranium fuel arrived on site. Holtec International confirmed this week that 68 ...

A US nuclear reactor has switched from Regular to Premium fuel with Southern Nuclear inserting four Lead Test Assemblies (LTAs) into the Vogtle Unit 2 reactor in Waynesboro, Georgia that contains ...

Researchers at the US Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have begun post-irradiation studies on GE Vernova's high burnup fuel after it has spent six years in a commercial ...

Nuclear waste. We've all heard about it, but what is it? Is it a problem without a solution? How big is the problem? And what exactly is this waste and why is it so important? New Atlas takes a look ...
