You have to balance the control rods, the coolant pumping, and the steam output to produce as much power as possible without melting the core. If the reactor were real, the pressure vessel would ...

Seventy-five years ago, the sweeping landscape of the Idaho desert over the Snake River Aquifer was a land of sagebrush, ...

The Micro–Physics Nuclear Reactor Simulator was developed ... of depletion calculations of the core and transient calculations are available The transient conditions that can be simulated include: ...

UK-based Core Power has announced that it plans to mass produce a fleet of floating nuclear power plants (FNPPs) using advanced reactor design and modular shipbuilding to be anchored off the US coast ...

Rather than using large fuel rods, this design uses ... During the entirety of the tests, the reactor modules were naturally ...

When a nuclear meltdown occurs, the fission reaction occurring within the reactor is no longer sufficiently cooled and contained to keep the rods, cases, core containment vessel, et cetera cool.

Parts of the control-rod drive mechanism ... The drone cameras could not see the bottom of the reactor core, in part because ...

Figure 1: The most common hybrid design consists of a fusion reactor core surrounded by a blanket of fissile material such as uranium or thorium. An often cited but not technically significant ...

It was there that the core melted down following ... fuel debris from the No. 2 reactor next spring. As with the first removal of the sample, a fishing rod-shaped device will be used.
