China Builds ‘Prototype’ Nuclear Reactor for Aircraft Carrier
The California-based Middlebury Institute of International Studies published research this week showing that China has built a prototype nuclear reactor that could be installed on large surface ships. This shows that China is making progress toward building a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. Currently, only the United States and France have nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. The United States […]
Operating company of Fukushima to use robot to remove melted nuclear fuel from destroyed reactor
A company has demonstrated a remote-operated robot designed to retrieve melted fuel debris at Japan’s ravaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The plan includes deploying telescoping pipe robots inside the reactor to begin removing debris by October. About 880 tonnes of highly radioactive molten nuclear fuel remains in the three damaged reactors. Operators of Japan’s […]
First Small Modular Reactor Gets Certification From Nuclear Regulatory Commission
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission announced the first-ever certification Friday of a small modular reactor design, a big step in the process of developing a new generation of new and more flexible nuclear reactors. The NRC approved the reactor design from NuScale Power, making it the first SMR design to be certified by the regulator and […]
Georgia’s second nuclear reactor comes online, may be most expensive power plant ever built at around $35B
The second of Georgia’s two new nuclear reactors enters commercial operation, putting a cap on a project that cost billions of dollars more and took years longer than originally predicted. Ta. Georgia Power Co. and other owners announced a milestone for Plant Bogle’s Unit 4 on Monday. Unit 4 will join an earlier new reactor […]
Russia and China are planning to build nuclear reactor on the moon to power settlements
It looks like Russia and China will have to have a joint desire to build a nuclear reactor on the moon to power future settlements. According to Yuri Borisov, CEO of Roscosmos, Russia’s equivalent of NASA, the construction of the reactor is a step toward unmanned missions relying on technological solutions that both countries aim […]
GA’s new reactor achieves nuclear fission, should begin commercial operation in spring
Georgia Power said Wednesday that a nuclear power plant in Georgia has begun splitting atoms in the second of two new reactors, a significant step toward providing carbon-free electricity. It was announced that there is. A division of Atlanta-based Southern Corp. announced that its operators have reached self-sustaining nuclear fission in a reactor at Plant […]
