That's what seems to be happening now, according to a new study in the journal Matter. The study purports to have found ...

Setting a new milestone in nuclear research, scientists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have successfully fired up 3D-printed stainless steel capsules inside one of ...

A new multi-million dollar research effort aims to solve a central challenge for the next wave of nuclear energy: the efficient and safe management of extreme operational heat.

Power plant operators in Switzerland and France idled reactors so that discharged cooling water would not harm wildlife in already-hot rivers.

Oak Ridge researchers tested 3D-printed steel capsules in a high-flux reactor, remove them fully intact after a month.

A record-breaking heat wave in Europe is warming up the river water that some nuclear power plants use for cooling, prompting operators to shut down at least three reactors at two separate sites.
