"Our microreactor offers a transformative approach to industrial decarbonization and energy resilience," Cristian Rabiti, CEO ...

Incredible scenes show a gigantic dome being placed at Britain’s new £26bn nuclear power station. “Big Carl”, the world’s ...

At Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee, a half-dozen workers are making what appear to be gray billiard balls.

Nuclear power offers a high energy density and low carbon footprint but raises concerns about safety, waste disposal, and proliferation risks. The theory of antifragility suggests that systems can ...

"Big Carl", the world's largest crane, has successfully placed the 245-tonne dome onto Somerset's Hinkley Point C's second ...

As President Trump seeks to cut clean energy funding across the country, nuclear energy emerges as a rare area of bipartisan ...

Small-footprint nuclear power plants, by contrast, are enormously expensive up front — with costs of at least $7 billion per plant — but then are relatively cheap to maintain over their ...

But others believe nuclear power is necessary to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Governments around the world have declared intentions to reach net zero carbon emissions, most recently at the ...

Assuming 100% uptime (nuclear power plants do go offline for maintenence), a 1 GW power plant, running 8760 hours per year, will produce 8760 gigawatt-hours, or 8.76 billion kilowatt-hours per year.

In 2021, the Nuclear Energy Institute estimated the U.S. avoided more than 476 million metric tons of CO2 emissions thanks to nuclear. Use of land Nuclear power isn’t the only source of carbon ...

According to a new MIT study, achieving a low-carbon-emission future at a reasonable cost and minimal social impact requires a mix of power sources, with nuclear power as a major component.

Nuclear is anything but “clean.” Sure, it doesn’t emit planet-warming carbon dioxide once it’s built, but construction of reactors has a huge carbon footprint.
