Reactor radiation-shielding optimization methods are proposed by combining many-objective evolutionary algorithms with particle-transport calculation software that can optimize the reactor ...

Vladimir Putin's recent threats of nuclear weapon use are deeply concerning. A nuclear war would have catastrophic consequences, both short and long-term, including radiation-induced cancers. However, ...

Chemists report that radiation-induced chemical reactions may help mitigate the corrosion of metals in a new type of nuclear reactor cooled by molten salts. High temperatures and ionizing radiation ...

I've been lurking and dipping in and out of this thread, and have a scattered assortment of thoughts and somewhat-relevant expertise that I've finally decided to express in words. My bona fides: I've ...
