Still, the neutron moderation issue undermines the efficiency and thrust potential unless addressed. Criticism 1: Thermal Neutrons and “Detonation” The critic argues that the neutrons in a hydrogenous ...

allowing simultaneous neutron moderation and heat dissipation on both inner and outer surfaces, according to Zhao and his colleagues. Stable at extreme temperatures, the yttrium hydride moderator ...

Nuclear criticality depends on mass, geometry, and neutron moderation—here, the sausage-like segmentation ensures the uranium remains dispersed, preventing an unintended chain reaction. This aligns ...

Heavy water, scientifically known as deuterium oxide (D₂O), is a water variant where the typical hydrogen atoms are replaced with deuterium, a heavier isotope. This substitution results in physical ...

NANO Nuclear's MMRs are more appropriate for its market niche than any other competitor. Read why I rate NNE stock a ...

One class of these so-called Generation IV or Gen IV power plants is molten salt reactors, which replace enriched uranium or plutonium fuel rods and water moderator/coolant with a mixture of ...

Chinese nuclear engineers from the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) have allegedly found a significant design flaw in NASA’s lunar nuclear reactor (Fission Surface Power or FSP).

Graphite will be used in the next-generation very high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (VHTR) as a structural material and moderator due to its superior neutron-moderation properties. Under irradiation ...

Jim is also tasked with design and fabrication of the CMS hydrogen system which supplies 20K para hydrogen to the moderators and CMS helium system which removes heat from the hydrogen system. Jim ...
