The advanced nuclear fuel company said it expects the first phase of work under two "innovative" agreements with Idaho National Laboratory, in collaboration with the US Department of Energy, will culminate in irradiation testing of fuel samples.
ARCO – Yasir Arafat is a MARVEL superhero. No, he’s not a Marvel Comics superhero. Rather, he’s a nuclear engineer leading developer of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Microreactor Applications Research Validation and Evaluation project at Idaho National Laboratory. And from concept to construction, MARVEL is coming together at lightning speed. MARVEL will be built […]
As materials heat up and cool down, atoms and molecules can rearrange in strange and interesting ways. Water is one example. While most materials get denser when they freeze, water forms a crystalline structure as a solid that is less dense than its liquid form. That’s why ice cubes float. And these changes aren’t limited […]
Researchers at the US Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory have developed a new method of simulating what happens to a nuclear fuel pin when it overheats, using a newly developed detector which they plan to use in future tests of advanced light-water reactor fuel designs, beginning next year.
