Keywords: Earthquake engineering, seismic isolation, soil-structure-interaction, advanced nuclear reactors, surface free-field motions. Abstract: Soil-structure-interaction (SSI) analysis is mandated ...

Fluid‐structure interaction (FSI) in nuclear reactor fuel assemblies is a multidisciplinary research area that explores the interplay between the coolant flow and the structural elements of fuel ...

The massive structure -- called the New Safe Confinement (NSC) -- will seal off Chernobyl's reactor Unit 4. In 1986, an explosion inside the reactor led to the world's worst civilian nuclear accident.

Nuclear power is a low-carbon source of energy, because unlike coal, oil or gas power plants, nuclear power plants practically do not produce CO 2 during their operation. Nuclear reactors generate ...

Compared with traditional nuclear power technology, "miniaturisation, modularisation, and integration" are the outstanding features of the ACP100 reactor - also referred to as the Linglong One - ...

Workers at Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in the northeastern coast of Japan have been struggling to keep reactors there from overheating. The troubles began March 11, when a massive ...

Plasma-based nuclear fusion reactors have been around for a while, but they’ve long been unwieldy. PPPL’s reactor is a glass vacuum tube coated in a 3D-printed nylon shell. The hell holds in ...

The JET nuclear fusion reactor in the UK has set a new world record for total energy output. However, the reactor's record-smashing test will be its last.
