MPs have warned that a planned fleet of small nuclear reactors are unlikely to contribute to hitting a key target in decarbonising Britain’s electricity generation, as the government opened talks to buy a site in Wales for a new power station. The Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) said that ministers’ approach to developing factory-built nuclear power plants “lacks clarity” and their role in hitting a goal of moving the grid to clean energy by 2035 was u...

Director General of the UN’s nuclear watchdog Rafael Grossi visited the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine’s south on Feb. 7 to check the status of the plant’s cooling systems and assess whether it can operate with a reduced staff.

Rafael Grossi, the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), arrived in Kyiv on Feb. 6 ahead of a visit to the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.

A group of residents of towns near Japanese nuclear plants submitted a petition, Friday, asking regulators to halt safety screening for the restart of idled reactors until damage to a plant that partially lost external power and spilled radioactive water during a recent powerful earthquake is fully examined.

The Czech government said Wednesday it plans to build up to four nuclear reactors instead of one as the country tries to become more energy-independent…

In the pursuit of a groundbreaking energy revolution, experts the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) are on a mission to unlock the potential of fusion reactions. This ambitious endeavor holds the promise of providing a sustainable and clean alternative to traditional fossil fuels and nuclear fission. ITER means "The Way" in Latin. Unlike the well-established nuclear fission technology that powers numerous reactors globally, fusion is potentially more powerful and ...

The uk government is planning the biggest expansion of the nuclear power industry in 70 years. a new large—scale nuclear plant would quadruple supplies by 2050, which the government claims would lower bills and improve energy security. this nuclear power currently provides around 15% of the uks electricity, but many of the countrys ageing reactors are due to be decommissioned over the next decade. coming up: planting the seeds of a high—tech future. how artificial intelligence could transfor...
