As the spallation neutron beam passes through the TRISO particle, some neutrons are absorbed by the uranium while most are scattered away. A neutron area detector collects the scattered neutrons, ...

US researchers have quietly crossed a threshold in nuclear materials science, using intense neutron beams to peer inside ...

Although to most the term ‘fission reactor’ brings to mind something close to the commonly operated light-water reactors (LWRs) which operate using plain water (H 2 O) as coolant and with sluggish, ...

US scientists have gained a first-of-its-kind view inside advanced nuclear fuel by using neutron ...

Neutron beam research and reactor technology constitute a vibrant field at the forefront of materials analysis, non‐destructive imaging and advanced reactor design. The utilisation of neutrons for ...

The figure illustrates the experimental setup used to measure neutron leakage spectra from natural lead (nat Pb) slab samples, employing both D-T and D-D neutron sources at the integral experiment ...

China is building two advanced nuclear reactors with Russian assistance that will produce plutonium for Beijing’s rapid buildup of nuclear weapons, according to a new Air Force think tank study. The ...

New nuclear fission technology is being developed but over 50 nuclear reactors involves over $200 billion of development. China is developing over $100 billion of new nuclear fission power. China can ...
