Nuclear reactor

History Collection on Instagram: “Reactor # 4 of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant nearing completion | Ukrainian SSR, Soviet Union | November 1983.”

The massive doughnut-shaped device, which has been dubbed 'Korea's artificial sun' ran at 100 million°C (180 million°F) for 48 seconds.

Researchers hope to extend reactor lifetimes with advanced methods and materials that guard against degradation caused by harsh conditions

The first generation-IV nuclear reactor design has been approved for certification by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission. NuScale's small modular reactor design promises safe, clean energy at radically reduced cost, land use and installation time.

In Vermont, an old debate rages on. As an embattled nuclear plant seeks to extend its operating life and become a symbol of the conflict over whether to expand nuclear power it's no nukes vs. pro nukes, and not much in between.

Nuclear power is undergoing a revival as countries move to decarbonize and boost energy security. Small modular reactors are driving it. What are they?

The technology that will power NASA’s Moon exploration and beyond.

With Germany pulling out, China forging ahead and the US extending reactor lifetimes, what does the nuclear landscape look like a year on from the Fukushima disaster?

A nuclear power plant is a thermal power station in which the heat source is a nuclear reactor.
