A France-based firm has achieved a new milestone with its PROtect Enhanced Accident Tolerant Fuel (E-ATF) technology, which operated with full-length fuel rods at the Gösgen Nuclear Power Plant in ...

Spent nuclear fuel pools are designed to cool fuel rods after they come out of a nuclear reactor. While powering a nuclear ...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) recently started examining several new fuel rods developed by GE Vernova’s Global Nuclear Fuel (GNF) that could help boost the performance of nuclear power plants.

High-burnup fuel rods, manufactured by GE Vernova’s Nuclear Fuel business, Global Nuclear Fuel (GNF), have been delivered to the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) ...

Flow-induced vibration (FIV) poses a substantial challenge in nuclear reactor design, particularly in the context of fuel rod assemblies. These vibrations arise from the complex fluid–structure ...

For the second time in three harrowing days, a hydrogen explosion at one of Japan’s crippled reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant blew the roof off a containment building — this time on ...
