Fission Fragment rockets are several proposed nuclear rocket designs made since the 1980s with the highest potential theoretical top speed. The fission-fragment rocket is a rocket engine design that ...

The Department of Energy (DOE) recently announced that Deep Fission was selected to participate in President Trump’s Nuclear Reactor Pilot Program. The initiative provides an opportunity to streamline ...

Fission gas release constitutes a pivotal phenomenon in nuclear fuel behaviour during reactor operation. It involves the generation and migration of gaseous fission products—primarily xenon and ...

Researchers report the enrichment of barium isotopes that are products of fissionogenic cesium, a significant component of nuclear reactor waste, within ruthenium metal and sulfide aggregates in a ...

Traditional commercial reactors have nuclear waste that is slightly used rods and bundles. Not particularly because there is, and always will be, such a small volume of nuclear waste, no matter what ...

NASA plans to send crewed missions to Mars over the next decade – but the 140 million-mile (225 million-kilometer) journey to the red planet could take several months to years round trip. This ...

The elements above iron on the periodic table are thought to be created in cataclysmic explosions like the merger of two neutron stars or in rare classes of supernovae. New research suggests fission ...
