US nuclear regulator greenlights its first small modular reactor

The first generation-IV nuclear reactor design has been approved for certification by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). NuScale’s small modular reactor design promises safe, clean energy at radically reduced cost, land use and installation ti… Continue reading US nuclear regulator greenlights its first small modular reactor

First plasma propels Zap Energy’s plans for garage-sized fusion reactors

Nuclear fusion is an incredibly complex scientific problem that researchers are coming at from all sorts of angles, and Zap Energy is starting to make waves through one of the lesser-known approaches. The Seattle-based startup has achieved a major mile… Continue reading First plasma propels Zap Energy’s plans for garage-sized fusion reactors

Nuclear waste diamonds to power artificial neuron implants for decades

Arkenlight and Axorus have teamed up to prototype the first artificial neuron powered by a diamond betavoltaic battery made from nuclear waste. The goal is to develop medical-grade implants with energy sources that will last decades without charging.Co… Continue reading Nuclear waste diamonds to power artificial neuron implants for decades

Ulstein reveals thorium-powered ship concept to support ecocruising

Norway-based marine group Ulstein has introduced Thor, its concept design for a 149-m (489-ft) replenishment, research and rescue (3R) ship powered by a thorium Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) that can be used to recharge battery-driven cruise ships at sea.C… Continue reading Ulstein reveals thorium-powered ship concept to support ecocruising

Straight coils for twisty reactors give new shape to nuclear fusion

Scientists are pursuing the proposition of clean and inexhaustible power from nuclear fusion through a variety of experimental reactor designs, and one of the more interesting examples is a roughly circular device known as a stellarator. While these ha… Continue reading Straight coils for twisty reactors give new shape to nuclear fusion
