Ultra-pure nuclear fuel is quietly becoming one of the most strategic technologies in the energy transition, with the United ...

Lasers, heat and a notoriously tricky element are at the center of a quiet revolution in how the United States plans to power ...

produce a gas tight joint at one end of a SiGA® cladding rod. “Our patented local joining process seals the fuel rods without exposing the nuclear fuel pellets to high temperature water,” said Scott ...

As data-center energy bills grow exponentially, technology companies are looking to nuclear for reliable, carbon-free power. Meta has now made an unusually direct bet on a startup developing small ...

Perpetual Atomics Ltd, based in the UK, and QSA Global, Inc., based in the USA, have solved a key challenge in space nuclear power: turning americium dioxide into stable, large-scale pellets via an ...

If nuclear energy lobbies were as effective as petroleum lobbies, there'd be a reactor to power every home in the union. At least, that's the image they'd surely like to convey. However, one project ...

Fuel cladding is a barrier between the reactor coolant and nuclear fuel pellets and is essential to protecting the fuel while also ensuring the safety of a nuclear power plant. Fuel is stacked into ...
