Oak Ridge National Laboratory is building the technical case for 3D-printed parts inside U.S. nuclear reactors, combining ...

New research led by the US Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) could speed up approval ...

3D printing is tipped to have a pivotal part to play in “a new era of nuclear construction.” The assertion comes after the U.S.'s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) successfully integrated 3D ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. MIT researchers have developed a technique that allows scientists to watch, in real time, how materials corrode and crack inside a ...

Why it matters: Two concurrent developments – faster, more agile nuclear construction enabled by 3D printing, and the race to deploy a functional nuclear reactor on the Moon – signal a profound ...

At its nuclear fission technology demonstration facility, one of Kairos Power’s goals is to accelerate nuclear plant construction. In a first project with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), Kairos ...

ORNL researchers used a laser powder-bed system at the lab’s Manufacturing Demonstration Facility to 3D print 316H stainless steel capsules for use in irradiation experiments. The capsule provides a ...

Barnard Construction workers pour concrete into the carbon-fiber-reinforced ABS form to produce one of the cast-in-place Janus columns. In a bold step toward transforming how nuclear infrastructure is ...

Stainless steel has long been a workhorse material for the nuclear industry. It fortifies walls and forms crucial components throughout nuclear reactors, where it withstands decades of extreme heat, ...

A giant American flag hung resolutely Thursday during the unveiling of the world’s first experimental extra modular nuclear ...
