The goal of this paper is to build a simple point kinetics model to predict the neutron and photon multiplicities induced by an associated particle imaging deuterium-tritium neutron generator ...

Don’t believe the hype around SMRs, says 50-year industry veteran Arnie Gundersen, calling them an expensive distraction from real climate solutions.

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, scientists at GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung have discovered ...

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

A groundbreaking collaboration between Los Alamos scientists and Duke University has resurrected a nearly forgotten 1938 ...

That’s because of the two main uranium isotopes, only uranium-235 can support a : one neutron causes an atom to fission, which produces energy and some more neutrons, causing more fission, and ...

Physicists confirm DT fusion insights from a 1938 experiment. The findings connect past theory with current fusion efforts. A ...

Asymmetry in nuclear fission In nuclear fission, an isotope of a heavy element such as uranium is bombarded with neutrons.

That’s because of the two main uranium isotopes, only uranium-235 can support a fission chain reaction: one neutron causes an atom to fission, which produces energy and some more neutrons ...
