Nuclear fuel rods that work more efficiently, last much longer, and minimize nuclear waste may soon help generate more sustainable energy sources. Interesting Engineering shared the latest development ...

High-burnup fuel rods, manufactured by GE Vernova’s Nuclear Fuel business, Global Nuclear Fuel (GNF), have been delivered to the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) ...

Flow-induced vibration (FIV) poses a substantial challenge in nuclear reactor design, particularly in the context of fuel rod assemblies. These vibrations arise from the complex fluid–structure ...

It's been more than three years since the Fukushima Daiichi power plant melted down, and despite nearly unlimited interest from the public we still have virtually no idea what's going on in there.
