If your image of nuclear power is giant, cylindrical concrete cooling towers pouring out steam on a site that takes up hundreds of acres of land, soon there will be an alternative: tiny nuclear ...

The future of self-regulating microreactors may hinge less on artificial intelligence and more on the principles of physics. This represents a significant departure from the current trend in ...

Surging demand for generative artificial intelligence and data centers, among other drivers, in recent years has led to a revived interest in nuclear energy. While large nuclear power plants provide ...

The ongoing quest for sustainable and low-carbon energy solutions has led to the emergence of a number of innovative technologies. The vision of reducing carbon footprints while maintaining ...

The U.S. Army is moving closer to deploying a new class of nuclear technology that could reshape how the United States produces reliable, low-carbon power — nuclear microreactors small enough to fit ...

Powering a remote zinc mine located roughly 600 miles northwest of Anchorage, Alaska, is a Herculean task. Governments and industry have taken a particular interest in remote arctic mining locations, ...

In our world of AI-dominated algorithms, some nuclear physicists prefer to do science the old-fashioned way. And this newly developed physics-based, AI-free algorithm may be the breakthrough needed ...

Microreactors are a class of very small modular reactors targeted for non-conventional nuclear markets. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) supports a variety of advanced reactor designs, including ...
