EnerCom, Inc., a leading energy consulting and strategic communications firm, announces an unprecedented lineup of nuclear ...

Long story short, if you put too much fissionable material in one place, you’re asking for trouble. If it gets to that critical point and the chain reaction starts, it’s going to release a ton ...

The first set of ground rules for a civilian atomic industry were laid down last week by the Atomic Energy Commission. To get a license for 40 years or less to build and operate an atomic plant, a ...

Under the system of burning only the U-235, each pound of natural uranium, containing .007 Ibs. of fissionable materials, was equivalent in energy to about 18,200 Ibs. of coal.

Wishing to know in greater detail the full implications of President Eisenhower’s electrifying proposal for the pooling of fissionable materials, the Atlantic turned to GORDON DEAN, who screed ...

Nuclear reactors are devices in which a self-sustaining controlled chain reaction is produced in a fissionable material. The energy produced in these reactors is used to generate electricity.

Electrorefining allows Oklo to recover fissionable material from waste produced by traditional reactors, improving its supply chain and theoretically reducing fuel costs.

Also, NASA will only use fissionable materials that cannot be diverted to nefarious purposes, such as creating a nuclear bomb. Those and other safeguards may not be enough to assuage the fears of ...

To reduce high-level radioactive waste and make nuclear reactors more economical, researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are working on ways to use real-time spectroscopic ...

Nuclear criticality safety and reactor safety are at the heart of a new initiative led by researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The five-year funding plan calls for $1.5 million to be ...
