They allow scientists to study how different materials behave under intense conditions inside a reactor core. Traditionally, these capsules are made using conventional machining techniques.

The nuclear fusion firm aims to advance its cost-effective tech with a funding deal, as Chinese competition grows in the global fusion race.

The scientists achieved this sustained nuclear reaction, the first created by humans, on Dec. 2, 1942, in a squash court under the stands of Stagg Field at the University of Chicago. Nicknamed ...

as a platform for analysis and visualization of behaviour of the nuclear reactor core from the viewpoint of reactor physics, fuel performance and thermal–hydraulics. The simulator is mainly used as an ...

It is located directly under the reactor’s core. Officials hoped to film the core’s bottom to find out how overheated fuel dripped there in 2011. TEPCO officials said they plan to use the new ...
