China is racing forward in its effort to pave the way in fusion energy science, and state-sponsored media reported earlier this week that one of the country’s next-gen reactors is now under ...

Commercial fusion power plants may be cheaper and easier to build thanks to a breakthrough by TAE Technologies that allows reactors to generate their own containment fields without the need for ...

Scientists have built the first-ever thorium reactor. Thorium is both more easily accessible and less dangerous than uranium—the most common fission fuel. The system also uses molten salt ...

The world’s largest and most powerful superconducting electromagnet is ready to become the pulsing “heart” inside of a massive tokamak nuclear fusion reactor. Developed over 40 years in ...

Ontario is set to begin work on building its first small modular nuclear reactor, the Ford government has announced, with completion targeted for the end of the decade. On Thursday morning ...

PROSPECT is unique because it is stationed close to a compact reactor core—it can search for sterile neutrinos with high mass values relative to other experiments that are farther from larger ...

Ontario has begun building the first of four new, small nuclear reactors, as Canada seeks to lead the Group of Seven industrialized nations in developing next-generation nuclear technology.

A US nuclear reactor has switched from Regular to Premium fuel with Southern Nuclear inserting four Lead Test Assemblies (LTAs) into the Vogtle Unit 2 reactor in Waynesboro, Georgia that contains ...

India's first prototype fast-breeder reactor in Tamil Nadu's Kalpakkam is expected to be commissioned next year, nearly two years after it got the go-ahead from the nuclear regulator, officials ...

Hudhayfa Nazoordeen, a math major at the University of Waterloo, built a functioning plasma reactor from scratch—right on campus. In just four weeks, Nazoordeen created a homemade fusor on a ...

Chinese scientists have achieved a milestone in clean energy technology by successfully adding fresh fuel to an operational thorium molten salt reactor, according to state media reports.
