India should pursue direct thorium utilisation in parallel to the three-stage nuclear power programme as it’s only the first ...

Taiwan’s lawmakers passed the first reading of a bill to unfreeze 238 budget items. Opposition parties had previously blocked ...

The U.S. government decommissioned K-25 in 1985 and permanently shut it down in 1987, kicking off a long process of demolishing and cleaning the site at the southwest corner of Oak Ridge. The main ...

The rest is U-238. Before its use in nuclear settings, uranium is enriched to increase the concentration of U-235. Both low-enriched uranium (LEU) and high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU ...

However, existing models struggle to predict fusion barriers—critical energy thresholds for successful reactions—especially for systems involving deformed nuclei like uranium-238. The new ...

That is, the natural percentage by weight of the uranium isotope 235 to 238 must be increased. Natural uranium is only about 0.7% uranium-235 (U₂₃₅) and only a very few reactor designs can ...

The K-25 uranium enrichment plant in Oak Ridge has been entirely demolished, but hundreds of former workers gathered near its footprint to remember their personal history of a major U.S. nuclear site.

The reality is that of 238 migrants expelled to the Central American country, just a small fraction had ever been charged ...

U.S. enterprise demand is voracious for the company's artificial intelligence (AI)-powered software platforms.

Eventually, though, the world more or less settled on a blueprint for nuclear reactors, focusing on those that use Uranium-238 as fuel and are cooled by water at a high pressure. One reason for ...
