The problem of nuclear reactor waste will have to be resolved as nuclear energy becomes more frequently adopted as the world's source of power. No one is pro nuclear waste. Simply, nuclear waste is a ...

Many experts believe small modular reactors (SMRs), which are generally classified as nuclear power reactors with an electrical output of 300 MW or less, offer great promise for supplying the world ...

Small modular nuclear reactors, which offer greater flexibility and lower upfront cost than large nuclear reactors, have both some advantages and disadvantages when it comes to nuclear waste ...

Appearing as a guest on several TV channels (BFM, Cnews, etc.), a certain Fabien Bouglé managed to fool both viewers and journalists (most of whom are totally ignorant about nuclear power) with a ...

All the different types of small modular reactors generate heat the same way: by splitting heavy atoms and capturing the heat ...

But with reactors expected to use new forms of fuel and to produce more and different kinds of waste, the United States still hasn’t come up with a plan for the nuclear byproducts reactors have ...

Get your news from a source that’s not owned and controlled by oligarchs. Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily. Lindsay Krall decided to study nuclear waste out of a love for the arcane. Figuring ...

Nuclear power is among the cleanest energy sources on Earth, but the materials that fuel it can degrade during operation. A new international study may unlock safer, longer-lasting fuel for the next ...

Scientists from the University of Cambridge have developed a new reactor that converts natural gas (a common energy source ...

Study one of the first to address nuclear waste production of small modular reactors. Nuclear energy is a key component of decarbonizing our economy, but large nuclear reactors are often complicated ...

Lindsay Krall decided to study nuclear waste out of a love for the arcane. Figuring how to bury radioactive atoms isn’t exactly simple—it takes a blend of particle physics, careful geology and ...
