UK-based Core Power has announced that it plans to mass produce a fleet of floating nuclear power plants (FNPPs) using ...

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 ...

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: ...

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

Crews worked round the clock for two weeks, purifying graphite and uranium, arranging the blocks in 57 layers of precise positions, and fitting holes for cadmium control rods. They finished on the ...

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 ...

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.
