Commercial nuclear reactors all work pretty much the same way. Atoms of a radioactive material split, emitting neutrons. Those bump into other atoms, splitting them and causing them to emit more neutrons, which bump into other atoms, continuing the chain reaction.

An innovative algorithm for detecting collisions of high-speed particles within nuclear fusion reactors has been developed, inspired by technologies used to determine whether bullets hit targets in video games. This advancement ... Japan's decision to ...

LWRs dominate the global nuclear reactor market and officials acknowledge that without embedding Indian firms in international supply chains linked to this technology, breaking into the export market would remain challenging.

The explosion at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant turned a routine safety test into a slow-motion war against an invisible enemy, fought while the ruined reactor kept burning. As the graphite core smoldered and radiation poured into the sky,
