As an emerging nuclear power plant technology, traditional PID control is not suitable for small modular reactors (SMRs). In this study, we apply Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC) to SMRs, ...

Japan has started releasing wastewater into the ocean. But this isn’t the kind of wastewater that flows from city streets into stormwater drains. It’s treated nuclear wastewater used to cool ...

A closet-sized nuclear reactor buried beneath Purdue University's campus may hold the key to revolutionizing the future of clean energy, according to a report by Power Engineering. Known as PUR-1, ...

The most recent nuclear reactor plants built in the U.S. are Units 3 and 4 of the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant in Georgia, which came online in 2023 and 2024, respectively.

Oklo's reactor design is modeled after the government's EBR-II (Experimental Breeder Reactor-II), a liquid-metal-cooled, metal-fueled fast reactor that operated safely for 30 years (1964-1994).

In a nuclear power plant, the reactor core and the spent nuclear fuel are the most radioactive components. Some of it remains dangerous for thousands of years.

Technicians work at the Arak heavy water reactor’s secondary circuit, as officials and media visit the site, near Arak, 250 kilometers (150 miles) southwest of the capital Tehran, Iran, December ...

The reactor's versatility was further validated by its successful application in the synthesis of other beta-blockers, including metoprolol, bisoprolol, pindolol, and naftopidil—highlighting its ...

An International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) team of experts said Malaysia is committed to the safe operation of its sole nuclear research reactor, the Reaktor TRIGA PUSPATI (RTP). The team also ...

A recently formed partnership in Virginia will look at the potential for creating a research facility that would include a micro-scale nuclear reactor for businesses and universities to use as they ...

Israel’s military said Thursday its fighter jets targeted the Arak heavy water reactor, some 250 kilometers (155 miles) southwest of Tehran, in order to prevent it from being used to produce ...
