For the first time in decades, thorium-based nuclear fuel is headed for fabrication and reactor testing on U.S. soil. Clean ...

US-based Clean Core Thorium Energy (CCTE) and Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) have announced an ...

A San Diego-based firm has achieved a breakthrough in the development and testing of a new type of nuclear fuel cladding technology. General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) confirmed that it ...

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 ...

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 ...

Such fuels may incorporate the use of new materials and designs for cladding and fuel pellets. KHNP, together with Kepco Nuclear Fuel (KNF), began developing accident-resistant nuclear fuel in 2017 as ...

Scientists in the US have been testing spin-polarized nuclear fuel inside tokamaks operating at ...

In the decade after the 2011 Fukushima disaster, many countries throttled or paused their nuclear projects. As a result, many ...

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 ...
