In a major step forward for nuclear safety, General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) has announced the successful completion of a 120-day irradiation testing period for its innovative SiGA ...
High-burnup fuel rods, manufactured by GE Vernova’s Nuclear Fuel business, Global Nuclear Fuel (GNF), have been delivered to the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) ...
Nuclear fuel rods that work more efficiently, last much longer, and minimize nuclear waste may soon help generate more sustainable energy sources. Interesting Engineering shared the latest development ...
Belgium’s Tihange Nuclear Power Plant unit 3 will have its control rod system modernised over several years after Framatome was selected by Engie's Electrabel to carry out the work. Unit 3 is the last ...
It's been more than three years since the Fukushima Daiichi power plant melted down, and despite nearly unlimited interest from the public we still have virtually no idea what's going on in there.
produce a gas tight joint at one end of a SiGA® cladding rod. “Our patented local joining process seals the fuel rods without exposing the nuclear fuel pellets to high temperature water,” said Scott ...
Flow-induced vibration (FIV) poses a substantial challenge in nuclear reactor design, particularly in the context of fuel rod assemblies. These vibrations arise from the complex fluid–structure ...
TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran has successfully produced and tested fuel rods for use in its nuclear power plants, state television reported on Sunday, in a snub to international demands that it halt ...
