Called the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak (SMART), this reactor is part of the University of Seville’s effort to not only make fusion energy possible, but also economically competitive for grid ...
Initially developed in the 1950s, molten salt reactors have benefits in higher efficiencies and lower waste generation. Some designs do not require solid fuel, which eliminates the need for ...
During her time at CNET, Kim Wong-Shing loved demystifying the world of wellness to make it accessible to any reader. She was also passionate about exploring the intersections of health, history ...

Their findings raise some concerns whilst reducing others; for example, quartz crystals in concrete can heal themselves, potentially allowing some reactors to run for longer than initially thought ...
A tiny neutrino detector has found its footing in a fresh setting — at a nuclear reactor. Conventional detectors of the subatomic particles require metric tons of material. But the new detector ...
Undeniably, ambitions for a nuclear renaissance are thriving. The UK is building its first nuclear power station in 30 years, France plans a new fleet of 14 reactors and, in total worldwide, 100 new ...
