ITER engineers expect their tokamak reactor to generate 500 megawatts (Mw) of fusion power using just 50 Mw of input heating–compared with a nuclear fission reactor’s roughly 1,000 Mw of power ...

A US nuclear reactor has switched from Regular to Premium ... In order for nuclear fission to occur, the nuclear ore not only needs to be refined, it needs to be enriched. That is, the natural ...

This sector module is next in line for insertion in the tokamak pit. The assembly suspended in vertical tooling is composed of vacuum vessel sector #6 at the center, which is surrounded by a thin ...

Scientists have built the first-ever thorium reactor ... While the fission of Th-232 produces protinactium, which decays into U-233 and can be used in nuclear weapons, U-233 isn’t nearly ...

India's first prototype fast-breeder reactor in Tamil Nadu's Kalpakkam is expected to be commissioned next year, nearly two years after it got the go-ahead from the nuclear regulator, officials ...

The price tag is in: $20.9 billion. That’s the estimated cost of the design and building four small, modular reactors (SMRs) at the Darlington nuclear generating station on Lake Ontario east of ...

China’s nuclear power construction is booming, yet the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) harbours growing concerns about how Chinese reactors will fare in a conflict. Last month, Beijing greenlit ...
