In a major step forward for nuclear safety, General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) has announced the successful completion of a 120-day irradiation testing period for its innovative SiGA ...

A France-based firm has achieved a new milestone with its PROtect Enhanced Accident Tolerant Fuel (E-ATF) technology, which operated with full-length fuel rods at the Gösgen Nuclear Power Plant in ...

Commercial nuclear reactors all work pretty much the same way. Atoms of a radioactive material split, emitting neutrons.

Fireplaces are cozy until it’s time to shovel out the ashes. Nuclear power has the same problem: abundant, reliable energy ...

produce a gas tight joint at one end of a SiGA® cladding rod. “Our patented local joining process seals the fuel rods without exposing the nuclear fuel pellets to high temperature water,” said Scott ...

General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) announced it has completed preliminary development of four individual performance models in support of its SiGA silicon carbide composite nuclear fuel ...

The current fleet of nuclear reactors runs primarily on uranium (U) fuel enriched up to 5% U-235, but advanced reactor systems and small modular reactors will require high-assay low-enriched U (HALEU) ...

At the intersection of mathematics and nature, scientists have found intriguing and often beautiful designs. Pinecone scales ...

Water reactors are complex systems where efficient heat transfer is paramount to safe and sustainable operation. One of the critical challenges is the formation of corrosion products—commonly referred ...

Fuel is stacked into cladding tubes and the ends of the tubes are joined to form hermetic seals for the fuel rods. GA-EMS’ SiGA cladding offers superior high temperature and irradiation resistance ...
