Currently, the US relies heavily on first- or second-generation nuclear reactors to generate over half of its carbon-free electricity. These reactors use water as both a coolant and neutron moderator.

Small and advanced nuclear reactors are key to meeting future low-carbon dioxide energy demands, so much attention has been ...

Since founding TerraPower in 2008, Bill Gates has had his eye on developing a safe, efficient, and clean next-gen nuclear plant. That project, called Natrium, has already broken ground in Wyoming and ...

Japan's nuclear plants faced global scrutiny after the devastating 2011 tsunami triggered by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake.

The top US nuclear regulator is on a mission to streamline approvals for new reactors and accelerate power-plant construction. “We can be more efficient,” Christopher Hanson, chairman of the ...

Meanwhile, the SPARC nuclear fusion reactor, a US project involving MIT, is currently in development in Devens, Massachusetts and scheduled to start operations in 2026. South Korea also has ...

To understand this concept better, let’s review the US nuclear energy development through the years. As Nazi Germany began to eat away at civilization, the discovery of nuclear fission, the powerhouse ...

An old, misleading map has resurfaced online, showing Germany’s borders lined with 30 nuclear power plants. The plants are spread across Germany's neighbours: the Netherlands, Belgium ...
