Natura Resources Unveils Two Advanced Nuclear Deployments to Power Texas’ Future
Texas is growing. Fast. So is its need for reliable electricity and clean water — and Natura Resources plans to deliver both. The company just announced the deployment of two MSR-100 advanced nuclear reactors, each designed to do more than just generate power. One will sit deep in the Permian Basin. The other, at Texas […]
Goodbye Nuclear Waste, Hello Endless Energy: Ohio State’s New Battery Turns It into Pure Power
Ohio State University Pioneers Gamma-Powered Nuclear Battery Researchers at Ohio State University have achieved a significant breakthrough, developing a novel nuclear battery that directly converts the ambient gamma radiation from spent nuclear fuel into usable electricity. This innovation represents a dual advancement, offering a potential solution to the long-standing challenge of nuclear waste
Core Power to Produce a Fleet of Floating Nuclear Power Plants for US Coastline
Nuclear power has resurgence lately, with 2025 deemed as the year when nuclear energy generation will be the highest in history. Many countries are constructing new nuclear power plants to meet the increasing energy needs, while also ensuring energy security. Lately, floating nuclear power plants (FNPPs) have also become an attractive option, particularly for coastal […]
Chinese Reactor Sets New Fusion Endurance Record at Over A Thousand Seconds
China has announced its newest achievement in making practical commercial fusion power. The announcement set a new record with a 1,066-second sustained fusion reaction taken by the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) reactor in Hefei, Anhui Province. A concerted effort to turn the incredible destructive power of the hydrogen bomb was needed to usher in […]
TerraPower Project Hits Key Milestone for Its Nuclear Power Plant
TerraPower, a next-gen nuclear development company founded in 2008 by Bill Gates and several other high-wealth partners, recently received approval from the Wyoming Industrial Siting Council for a permit for its first Natrium plant, Kemmerer Power Station Unit 1. The permit allows TerraPower to build the non-nuclear portions of its facilities, including the energy island […]
China Works on Wave-Resistant Offshore Solar Platforms
Offshore wind turbines are becoming the norm for obvious reasons. To begin with, they don’t take up precious land space but also utilize stronger and more consistent winds. Now, the Chinese government wants to do the same with photovoltaics, i.e., solar panels. China already installed its first offshore photovoltaic platform called “Yellow Sea No. 1,” […]
