China is set to build the world’s first fusion-fission hybrid power plant, a revolutionary step in nuclear energy. The ...

The amount of energy produced from fusion is very large — four times as much as nuclear fission reactions — and fusion reactions can be the basis of future fusion power reactors. Plans call for ...

A multibillion-dollar project is set to be constructed in China, the country's latest move in a push for nuclear energy.

By the end of the year the physicist Werner Heisenberg had calculated that nuclear fission chain reactions might be possible. When slowed down and controlled in a "uranium machine" (nuclear ...

China plans to start construction of the world’s first fusion-fission power plant, with the aim of generating 100 megawatts ...

In a conventional reactor these neutrons are supplied by the fission reaction itself, which requires a certain concentration of the correct fissile isotopes (typically 235 U or 239 Pu) to be ...
