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.

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 ...

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 - ...

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 ...

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.
