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 ...

Flow-induced vibration (FIV) poses a substantial challenge in nuclear reactor design, particularly in the context of fuel rod assemblies. These vibrations arise from the complex fluid–structure ...

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 ...

Studies suggest that nearly half a million people died in the U.S. alone from complications related to pollution from coal-fired electrical plants in the 21 years from 1999 to 2020, yet nobody seems ...

IDAHO FALLS (AP) | An eastern Idaho nuclear facility can safely handle two shipments of 25 spent fuel rods for research and it's not the start of turning the state into a nuclear waste dump, officials ...

Theoretically, there's no better, more practical source of reliable, carbon-free energy than the current generation of nuclear reactors. In practice, the theory holds water, but there are still a few ...
