Tulsi Gabbard’s testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee has led Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to ...

uranium has to be "enriched" in the U-235 isotope, which is responsible for nuclear fission. During the enrichment process the fraction of U-235 is increased from its natural level (0.72% by mass) to ...

Stocks like BWXT Technologies, GE Vernova and Constellation Energy offer a great opportunity for investors who want to create ...

By the end of the year the physicist Werner Heisenberg had calculated that nuclear fission chain reactions might be possible. When slowed down and controlled in a "uranium machine" (nuclear ...

Resurgent interest in atomic power means the world’s second-biggest provider of enriched uranium is expanding even in Germany ...

Uranium atoms are split, creating heat, and that heat is used to boil water, producing steam that turns turbines to generate electricity. Nuclear fission occurs when a neutron splits an atom ...

Uranium is used to power the process of nuclear fission. During nuclear fission, an unstable uranium atom is split in half, which releases a large amount of energy. Clean burning and effective ...

There are some potentially valid criticism about the Nuclear Salt Water Rocket (NSWR). The criticisms highlight real physical ...

Nuclear pulse propulsion is a technology that would work. It was being developed in the 1960s but it was stopped because of ...
