A research team from Chalmers University of Technology recently explored the process of nuclear fission in 100 nuclei and published its findings in Nature. With a thorough study that investigated ...

The IAEA’s ‘Nuclear Explained’ series takes scientific and technical subjects related to nuclear topics and makes them easier to understand. Delve into our top explainers in 2024 to find out how ...

Advanced computing is being utilized to predict a key occurrence in nuclear fission reactions, which could help improve energy production in future plants, according to a new stud ...

Outdone only by nuclear fusion, the process of nuclear fission releases enormous amounts of energy. The ‘spicy rocks’ that are at the core of both natural and artificial fission reactors are generally ...

Few manmade threats inspire as much fear as the potential of a nuclear meltdown. The fact that "Chernobyl," once an obscure Ukrainian town, is now globally recognized as a synonym for catastrophe ...

Innovative startup Deep Fission is pioneering next-generation nuclear energy by deploying a "gravity reactor" in a mile-deep borehole, a design that promises to slash operational costs by up to 80% ...

Deep Fission, a small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) developer, has partnered with Endeavour Energy, a US sustainable infrastructure developer, to develop and deploy nuclear fission to power AI data ...

Fission gas release constitutes a pivotal phenomenon in nuclear fuel behaviour during reactor operation. It involves the generation and migration of gaseous fission products—primarily xenon and ...
