General Atomics physicists recorded plasma heating by helicon waves at DIII-D, a method meant to let tokamaks run longer without recharging the solenoid.
The Xuwei complex pairs Hualong One and high-temperature gas-cooled Chilong-1 reactors to deliver 32.5 million tonnes of steam a year to petrochemical plants.
A new study reveals that residents near nuclear power plants who receive iodine tablets view nuclear energy more critically.
Calculations based on surviving uranium cubes and declassified documents show the experimental assembly at Haigerloch, built from 664 cubes, could not sustain a chain reaction.
Scientists find that radioactive particles from Chornobyl have preserved much of their internal structure despite decades in the environment.
NASA announced the PROMISE mission, which adapts Mars rover hardware and an RTG to prospect for subsurface water ice during an 18-month primary mission.
The agency expanded the CLPS program to $10 billion, commissioned orbital transfer missions, and funded Blue Origin to deliver a nuclear rover to the Moon's South Pole.
Spanish researchers measured the neutron capture rate of niobium-94 for the first time, explaining isotopic anomalies in ancient meteorites.
European startup Proxima Fusion plans to develop an operational pilot fusion power plant by the early 2030s to demonstrate positive net energy output.
Engineers from NC State, ORNL, and JEOL manufactured full-scale divertor tiles via electron-beam 3D printing and verified their stability under high heat flux.
A feasibility study outlines the DEMO experimental reactor designed to process spent fuel and vitrified waste directly without conventional chemical reprocessing.
A PNAS Nexus study used archival forensics and a neutronics model validated by 1945 data. It puts the B8 shortfall far above what Heisenberg stated.
The companies will combine reactor hardware, nuclear engineering and digital modelling. Divertor tiles from Kyoto Fusioneering are already being tested at DIII-D in California.
The company says its laser-welding compound is used in automotive camera parts and actuators, and its ion-exchange resin is supplied to Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power.
The partners will test a planar encircling coil at full magnetic field and full mechanical force at MIT's Plasma Science and Fusion Center, as Thea Energy targets commercial fusion by 2035.
