The waste could be used for nuclear fusion, say researchers. Although nuclear fission, which powers nuclear reactors, can provide plenty of energy, it also produces potentially dangerous radioactive waste as a by-product. Now, researchers say they may have ...

Researchers have employed Bayesian neural network approaches to evaluate the distributions of independent and cumulative fission yields for neutron-induced ²³²Th fission, while also elucidating energy-dependent yield variations for selected nuclides.

Southern Company's Plant Vogtle nuclear power complex made history in 2023 by bringing the first new U.S. nuclear reactor built from scratch in the past 30 years online, according to a Fortune report. The Georgia facility soon opened a second reactor ...

Although nuclear fission, which powers nuclear reactors, can provide plenty of energy, it also produces potentially dangerous radioactive waste as a by-product. Now, researchers say they may have found a way to use that waste to help produce a cleaner ...

Nuclear energy is often regarded as the cleanest power source on Earth. Unlike coal or gas, nuclear power plants don't release smoke and other contaminants into the air. They produce massive amounts of electricity with no direct pollution and a ...
