A novel small modular reactor design will use its waste heat to desalinate water produced in Texan oil and gas wells.
Minnesota’s 31-year-old ban on new nuclear power plants is facing another challenge from utility companies and supporters of nuclear power, who say the technology is necessary to meet the state’s ambitious goal of using only carbon-free sources of energy by 2040.
Big tech energy needs, including for artificial intelligence, has elected officials giving nuclear power a serious reexamination
Mario Draghi has identified low-carbon energy as a key enabler to improve Europe’s competitiveness. Nuclear has a role to play.
Idaho National Lab & University of Idaho team up to advance nuclear energy, cybersecurity & national security in a five-year low-carbon energy partnership.
Global consensus indicates that nuclear power's role must increase, to address climate change and maintain global temperature rise below 1.5°C. This technology offers a viable alternative to fossil fuel facilities for large-scale electricity generation,
The University of Manchester’s policy engagement unit, Policy@Manchester, has marked Nuclear Week in Parliament by publishing a new article from a leading academic exploring the role advanced nuclear can play as a balancing technology to facilitate the generation of low-carbon hydrogen - whilst maximising renewable energy potential.
As another plus, this carbon-14 is derived from graphite blocks, which are a byproduct of nuclear fission reactors. So, not only do these diamond batteries provide a new source of never-ending (at least, compared to our measly lifespans) energy, they also repurpose radioactive material.
Dinesh Kumar Shukla, chairman, Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB), on Wednesday, asked radiation protection experts to ponder upon the need for a national radiation dose registry for all people on the lines of the National Occupational Dose Registry for occupational workers.
For the last year, analysts have warned that the data centers needed for AI would drive up power demand and, by extension, emissions as utilities build out natural gas infrastructure to help meet demand.
A new study has discovered trillions of tons of hydrogen reserves beneath the earth surface that could become an alternative source of energy for centuries.
Nuclear energy is emerging as a critical solution due to a surge in global energy demand and the push for cleaner alternatives. While solar, wind and hydrogen have merits, they struggle to fully replace fossil fuels due to scalability challenges.
