Initially developed in the 1950s, molten salt reactors have benefits in higher efficiencies and lower waste generation. Some designs do not require solid fuel, which eliminates the need for ...

A tiny neutrino detector has found its footing in a fresh setting — at a nuclear reactor. Conventional detectors of the subatomic particles require metric tons of material. But the new detector ...

Their findings raise some concerns whilst reducing others; for example, quartz crystals in concrete can heal themselves, potentially allowing some reactors to run for longer than initially thought ...

Union Budget 2025: Small modular reactors are advanced nuclear reactors characterised by their compact size and modular design. India will operationalise 5 Small Modular Reactors by 2033. Listen to ...

In one of the biggest moves to expand nuclear energy sector, the government on Saturday set up a new mission to develop small modular nuclear reactors, and set a target of operationalising at least ...
