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 ...

Abstract: Soil-structure-interaction (SSI) analysis is mandated for the design of nuclear facilities in the United States, unless they are founded on very hard rock. The current rules and guidance for ...

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.

The Trump administration wants to streamline the nuclear reactor permitting process in order to provide clean power for industrial and military purposes.

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 ...

The completion of the main internal structure of the reactor building for the ACP100 small modular reactor demonstration project at the Changjiang nuclear power plant has been announced by China ...

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.

What is the Nuclear Fuel Cycle? The nuclear fuel cycle is an industrial process involving various steps to produce electricity from uranium in nuclear power reactors. The cycle starts with the mining ...

Hill Air Force Base has partnered with Radiant Nuclear to study small nuclear reactors as backup generators. The company could deliver a product as soon as 2028.

The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory’s nuclear-fusion reactor points to a possible zero-carbon future.

Reactor operator Dave McClurg monitors plant conditions in the main control room at Clinton Power Station, which has been operating for more than 35 years.
