A joint research team has made important progress in the field of photoneutron cross section measurement. The team proposed a substitution measurement method that avoids the use of expensive and ...

Researchers from the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have reported new experimental ...

China has reportedly achieved the world’s first successful thorium-to-uranium fuel conversion in an operational molten salt ...

A Trump administration pilot program aims for three nuclear startups to reach a key milestone by July 4, 2026. Valar Atomics ...

Nuclear physics is the branch of science that examines the properties and behaviour of atomic nuclei, the densely packed assemblies of protons and neutrons held together by the strong interaction.

The startup’s achievement is impressive but underscores the quiet chaos of the nuclear industry following a series of ...

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...

Discovered in Gabon, the Oklo natural nuclear reactor operated about 2 billion years ago, a testament to nature's ability to ...

The project for which the Middletown, Conn., plant was first built has been abandoned; U.S. authorities no longer feel driven to solve the enormously difficult design problems of a nuclear-powered ...
