Spent nuclear fuel pools are designed to cool fuel rods after they come out of a nuclear reactor. While powering a nuclear ...

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 ...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) recently started examining several new fuel rods developed by GE Vernova’s Global Nuclear Fuel (GNF) that could help boost the performance of nuclear power plants.

Flow-induced vibration (FIV) poses a substantial challenge in nuclear reactor design, particularly in the context of fuel rod assemblies. These vibrations arise from the complex fluid–structure ...

High-burnup fuel rods, manufactured by GE Vernova’s Nuclear Fuel business, Global Nuclear Fuel (GNF), have been delivered to the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) ...

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