A new theory suggests fusion reactors could help scientists search for axions, mysterious particles that may explain dark ...

Fusion power has long been sold as the technology that could light our cities with the same process that powers the stars.

Could future fusion reactors also serve as laboratories in which to manufacture dark matter? That’s the provocative question ...

Fast neutron reactor systems have the potential to extract 60 times more energy from uranium compared to existing thermal reactors, and they contribute to a significant reduction in the burden of ...

Construction of a 300-MW nuclear power unit showcasing a fuel specially developed for the reactor is underway in Siberia, a project that industry experts say could provide a dramatic leap forward in ...

A reliable understanding of radiolysis processes in supercritical water (SCW)-cooled reactors is crucial to developing chemistry control strategies that minimize the corrosion and degradation of ...

China has a sodium-cooled, pool-type fast reactor. It was refueled and had maintenance at the end of July 2020. It completed a power test phase last year. The reactor has a thermal capacity of 65 MW ...

It has been announced that a “fast fission pile” is in operation at the Los Alamos Laboratory of the United States Atomic Energy Commission. Instead of using natural uranium, in which a chain reaction ...

A nonintrusive inspection technique that probes samples with neutrons can analyze the content of coal and cement and detect explosives and drugs. It also shows promise for locating plastic and wooden ...

The relative biological effectiveness (RBE) of neutrons depends on their physical nature (e.g., energy) and the biological context (e.g., end points, materials). From the perspective of radiological ...
