Nuclear Technology

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have used a plasma flow reactor to recreate conditions inside a nuclear fireball. Their experiments show that cooling rates and thermal history significantly influence how radioactive particles form, particularly for volatile elements like cesium.

China is testing a prototype nuclear reactor that can be carried on a truck and generate up to 10 megawatts of energy, enough to power a medium-sized AI data centre, a leading scientist said. The reactor, in development for several years, is described as the “world’s first 10-megawatt vehicle-mounted nuclear power unit”.
