The first breeder reactor, went online almost 75 years ago. But today, only two remain active across the globe. Our question is simply, why?

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

Fusion’s demand for tritium is tiny in volume terms, but tritium is the key ingredient to turn fusion reactor designs into reality. Where will it come from?

Physicists have discovered that silicon-22 reveals a new proton magic number offering critical insights into nuclear ...

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

"Since this study has given us access to fission data of many more nuclei, the picture has really changed, and we have now a better understanding of how nuclear shells influence nuclear fission," ...

An international team of scientists has identified an unexpected region of heavy, neutron-deficient isotopes in the nuclear chart where nuclear fission is predominantly governed by an asymmetric mode.
