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 ...
General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems has concluded the conceptual design phase for a new helium gas-cooled fast reactor, advancing the project toward preliminary design and technology maturation.
Researchers from University of South China, Tsinghua University and Technical University of Munich have developed a whole system uncertainty model and an Intelligent optimized power control system of ...

Theoretically, there's no better, more practical source of reliable, carbon-free energy than the current generation of nuclear reactors. In practice, the theory holds water, but there are still a few ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Underground on Purdue University’s campus is the only nuclear reactor in Indiana. Although used just for research purposes — the total energy the reactor generates powers about ...
