The U.S. stands at a critical juncture. We’re experiencing electric load growth for the first time in decades, as fierce global competition reshapes the energy landscape. Nuclear power, both the ...

An international team of scientists has identified an unexpected region of heavy, neutron-deficient isotopes in the nuclear chart where nuclear fission is predominantly governed by an asymmetric mode.

or nuclear fission in a nuclear bomb. On subatomic scales of about 1 femtometre, or 10-15 m , it is by far the strongest of the four forces, 137 times stronger than electromagnetism, and a million ...

Today, nuclear fission is largely produced with fuel rods, which are skinny zirconium tubes packed with uranium pellets. The fission rate is kept in check with control rods, which are made of ...
