Pellet softening reactors are used in centralized and decentralized drinking water treatment plants for the removal of calcium (hardness) through chemically induced precipitation of calcite. This is ...

The AA Bochvar Research Institute of Inorganic Materials, a subsidiary of Russian nuclear fuel manufacturer TVEL, has successfully developed the technology and manufactured experimental fuel pellets ...

At ITER – the world’s largest experimental fusion reactor, currently under construction in France through international cooperation – the abrupt termination of magnetic confinement of a high ...

Scientists have developed a nuclear fuel source no larger than a seed, which NASA will test for use in future moon missions. Scientists in the U.K. have created mini, seed-sized nuclear fuel cells ...

Researchers at Idaho National Laboratory recently fabricated about two dozen commercial-grade high-assay low-enriched uranium fuel pellets for testing. A further 100-150 pellets are to be made for ...

Engineers are redesigning the uranium fuel used in almost all nuclear reactors worldwide to reduce both the chance of a hydrogen explosion and the release of radiation during an accident—which is what ...
