The Discovery That Caught Researchers Off Guard Picture this. December 21, 2019, a regular night shift at the telescope array ...
As night descends on the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) bursts with activity. A rigorous 24-day fuel cycle concludes and neutron production ...

The payoff in nuclear energy comes when a mass of fissionable material “goes critical,” i.e., when it begins to support a nuclear chain reaction. In the early days of the Los Alamos atom-bomb ...
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is inviting private-sector nuclear developers to submit proposals for experiments and demonstrations using its Microreactor Application Research Validation and ...
This report is based on a talk with the same title given at QUARKS-2014 Workshop in Suzdal. It describes very efficient reflectors of a new type for slow neutrons with parameters largely exceeding ...
A type of hydrogen that doesn't interact with light could explain how long neutrons live and reveal the identity of the universe's dark matter, according to a new theory. When you purchase through ...
When space talk turns to far-out exploration, to manned voyages far beyond the moon or Mars, most plans call for a nuclear reactor capable of providing abundant power without paying too much of a ...
