An international team of researchers has developed a unique modeling system that could contribute to the future of nuclear ...

Nuclear fission produces radioactive waste, which can be dangerous and must be stored safely - potentially for hundreds of years. ... How does nuclear fusion work?

The government has announced the biggest nuclear programme in a generation, which includes £14.2bn to build the Sizewell C nuclear power station in Suffolk. It has also confirmed that Rolls Royce ...

The challenges facing nuclear fusion as a clean power source. The energy released by nuclear fission heats water into steam. That steam spins a turbine to produce carbon-free electricity.

Nuclear power is a way of generating energy to provide electricity for things like people's homes. Because the process doesn't need fossil fuels such coal, oil or gas, it doesn't release harmful ...

A single gram (0.035 ounces) of fusion fuel can produce as much energy as several tons of coal. Compared to nuclear fission, fusion produces much fewer radioactive wastes, and those that are produced ...

Physicists have solved a long-standing puzzle about mercury’s nuclear fission by using a five-dimensional model that ...

Nuclear fission produces radioactive waste, which can be dangerous and must be stored safely - potentially for hundreds of years. The waste produced by nuclear fusion is less radioactive and ...

Nuclear power used today is created by a different process, called fission, which relies on splitting atoms and harnessing that energy, while also producing radioactive waste.
