New simulations from Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory suggest that deliberately engineering plasma rotation inside tokamak fusion reactors could dramatically reduce the heat loads that destroy ...

Researchers in the US have developed microelectronic sensors that are capable of surviving temperatures as high as 1,832 degrees Fahrenheit and intense radiation levels inside advanced nuclear ...

Several countries have come together at the IAEA to discuss their plans for developing and deploying advanced High Temperature Gas Cooled Reactors (HTGRs) to help decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors ...

Water reactors are complex systems where efficient heat transfer is paramount to safe and sustainable operation. One of the critical challenges is the formation of corrosion products—commonly referred ...

Power plant operators in Switzerland and France idled reactors so that discharged cooling water would not harm wildlife in already-hot rivers. By Sachi Kitajima Mulkey A record-breaking heat wave in ...
