The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has cleared a major hurdle in making a Generation IV nuclear reactor practical. Using a ...

The powdered uranium glass then goes into a graphite ... we recently saw a DIY metal-melting microwave forge that would probably do the trick. The actual casting process is pretty simple ...

“When these giant ice sheets melted, they triggered enormous floods that flushed minerals and their chemicals, including uranium, into the oceans,” Kirkland said. “This influx of elements ...

An estimated 880 tons of solidified melted uranium fuel, known as fuel debris, remain. Technicians extracted a miniscule sample of highly radioactive rubble. The piece, smaller than 5 ...

Uranium is present in very low concentrations ... in water and then mixing it with melted candle wax. “To date, porous adsorbents fabricated with polyamidoxime (PAO), particularly macroporous ...

The analysis revealed that the first piece of debris contained uranium and zirconium, a metal used in the cladding that encases fuel rods. JAEA said the debris was formed from melted nuclear fuel ...

Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a method that can track chemical changes in molten salt in real ...

When was the last time you heard about nuclear power and the demand for uranium? People used to debate the matter passionately, but it hasn’t been a hot topic in the developed world for some ...

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors in which either the fuel and/or the coolant is a molten salt. Molten salt is salt which liquifies at elevated temperatures and can store ...

Nuclear energy is set to return - in the form of molten salt reactors. US researchers have developed a process for producing the necessary fuel.

After years of effort, the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) scientists have created fuel for the world’s first fast-spectrum molten salt reactor. The Molten Chloride Reactor Experiment (MCRE) will test ...

along with evidence of melted snow on top of the uranium enrichment facility. According to 38 North, satellite images taken on Jan. 30-31 showed smoke rising from the power plant. Although snow ...
