Westinghouse and Eclipse Automation Join Forces to Support Global Nuclear Growth
Westinghouse Electric Company has signed a memorandum of understanding with Eclipse Automation, part of Accenture, to collaborate on a range of nuclear new-build projects both in Canada and internationally. The agreement outlines Eclipse Automation’s potential role in delivering automation solutions for Westinghouse’s AP1000® and AP300™ reactor programs. It also includes joint efforts to develop a
TAE Technologies’ FRC Reactor Is Cheaper and Easier to Build than Dominant Design
TAE Technologies’ approach is centered around a Field-Reversed Configuration (FRC) reactor, offering a potentially more streamlined and cost-effective alternative to the dominant tokamak design. For decades, the tokamak reactor has been the best choice in the fusion power industry. However, these reactors require huge, complicated superconducting magnetic coils and elaborate electromagnetic heatin
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 […]
