A research team from Chalmers University of Technology recently explored the process of nuclear fission in 100 nuclei and published its findings in Nature. With a thorough study that investigated ...

The IAEA’s ‘Nuclear Explained’ series takes scientific and technical subjects related to nuclear topics and makes them easier to understand. Delve into our top explainers in 2024 to find out how ...

Globally, nuclear power accounts for roughly 10% of electricity generation. In some countries, such as France, this figure is nearly 70%. Big tech companies such as Google are also turning to nuclear ...

Outdone only by nuclear fusion, the process of nuclear fission releases enormous amounts of energy. The ‘spicy rocks’ that are at the core of both natural and artificial fission reactors are generally ...

Back in the 1950s, the U.S. started detonating nuclear bombs underground to limit the fallout, both radioactive and sociopolitical, unleashed by aboveground testing. Hundreds of feet of rock formed a ...

At Deep Fission, we’re taking a radically different approach to nuclear energy: smaller, safer, faster to deploy—and located a mile underground. By placing reactors deep beneath the Earth’s surface, ...

Deep Fission has started drilling for its first-of-a-kind "gravity reactor" project in Kansas, which places a 15-megawatt reactor 6,000 feet underground to cut operational costs by up to 80%. The ...
