An international collaboration of scientists working with the FAIR Phase 0 program at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für ...

Thorium is both more easily accessible and less dangerous than uranium—the most common fission fuel ... salt reactors that used thorium for nuclear power at the dawn of the Cold War era.

Scientists in Gansu province in the country's west have achieved the milestone of reloading fuel to an operational nuclear fission reactor while it was running. The achievement shows fission ...

We are not ideological, we are in favor of nuclear fusion, but against fission (that of current power plants, to be clear) and we have no intention of taking charge of the waste. In fact ...

A controlled nuclear fission reaction releases one million times more energy per kg of fuel than a chemical reaction such as burning coal, oil or gas. Nuclear power creates well-paid employment ...

The Nuclear Company is taking an old approach to building new nuclear reactors. Rather than gin up a new design or try to mass manufacture smaller reactors, it wants to develop a series of ...
