The current AI race has reached a bottleneck that can be relieved only by new sources of electrical generation. Read more ...

A new nurturing technology for nuclear energy will launch its test reactor in Utah that will be a safer and cheaper alternative.

The security architecture dissuading countries from growing and pursuing their own nuclear weapons is collapsing.

"It was obliterated like nobody's ever seen before, and that meant the end to their nuclear ambitions at least for a period ...

Dream on. In the first place, early damage reports indicate that dropping 14 of the world’s biggest non-nuclear bombs with pinpoint accuracy did not destroy Iran’s underground uranium enrichment ...

Rafael Mariano Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, told CBS that Iran had a "a very vast ...

Iran could resume producing enriched uranium within months despite significant damage inflicted on its nuclear facilities by ...

The difference between uranium-238 and uranium-235 When we dig uranium out of the ground, 99.27% of it is uranium-238, which has 92 protons and 146 neutrons. Only 0.72% of it is uranium-235 with 92 ...

That’s because of the two main uranium isotopes, only uranium-235 can support a : one neutron causes an atom to fission, which produces energy and some more neutrons, causing more fission, and ...

The phenomenon of nuclear fission in both the controlled release of atomic energy in the chain-reacting uranium pile and the instantaneous detonation of an atomic bomb is associated with the ...

However, there is a key difference between atomic weapons and thermonuclear weapons, such as the H-Bomb, because the latter uses nuclear fusion in addition to fission reactions.

Uranium (U) is the poster child for nuclear fission reactors—the most common type of nuclear reactor we have. Most fission reactors are fueled by the isotope uranium-235 (it even made its way ...
