Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have, for the first time, used a breakthrough technique with a goal of better ...

Commercial nuclear reactors all work pretty much the same way. Atoms of a radioactive material split, emitting neutrons.

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 ...

The first complete assembly of enhanced accident-tolerant fuel (E-ATF) to operate in a commercial nuclear reactor has successfully completed its second 24-month operational cycle and has been loaded ...

The vision of a U.S. nuclear power renaissance has a blind spot—uranium fuel—in the near term and long, according to a Stanford University-led industry meeting.

Nuclear is the most powerful and efficient energy source ever harnessed. A piece of uranium fuel the size of a golf ball ...

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 ...
