nuclear power

I think NASA research into this goes back a good while now, and certainly across a few presidential administrations. Duffy to announce nuclear reactor on the moon: https://www.politico.com/news/2025/08/04/nasa-china-space-station-duffy-directives-00492172 View...

As I understand it, muon-catalysed fusion has the problem that generating enough muons efficiently is currently hard. Much too hard. Worse, unlike JET and Tokomaks, there's no iterative engineering approach... The 'infrastructure' would seem to need a hefty 'linear accelerator', akin to the...

I found this one on youtube,its rather interesting as evidently the worlds first nuclear reactor disaster took place during the middle of ww2 in germany. Whats quite astonishing about this experimental reactor was that it had no control system,it had a way to start it but no way of controlling...

During the cold war, from the 60s to the 70s the United States and Soviet Union developed and built several classes of nuclear powered surface combatants, including the Bainbridge CGN-25, Truxtun CGN-35, Long Beach CGN-9, California Class, Virginia Class and Orlan Class (Kirov Class). Now these...

Is this somekind of Joke ? or Investor scam/fraud ? oh boy, wait until Thunderf00t find this... View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcbifwN4OQM https://enron.com/pages/the-egg

I keep bumping into this from different angles, its technically very interesting to me so I'll ask the question here and see what happens. In the late 50s Britain was looking for a more commercially oriented nuclear power reactor type to follow on from it's operationally successful but not very...

There are two types of nuclear reactors: those manufactured by Europeans, which are an environmental hazard, and those manufactured by the Chinese, which contribute to regenerating the planet...

Single steam loop? Go F yourself, Mister DeGaulle! There's a reason everyone else keeps the primary loop inside the reactor compartment and lets it boil water in the secondary loop to spin the turbines.

I found short article in MILTECH on the AMPS, a Canadian project for a small scale nuclear reactor for use as air-independent-propulsion in submarines. Further research turned up a couple of interesting studies, which i attached to this post. THE AMPS 1000: AN ADVANCED REACTOR DESIGN FOR MARINE...

In the title and best kept as theory. But at least worth exploring this. Certainly we have a AH history option which above all shows Australia doesn't lack the theoretical capacity to achieve this. But in terms of operations, it would seem best for them to either build silos or road train...

Anyone interested in Australian attitudes to getting nuclear weapons should start with this thread that explains how difficult it is and the US role. https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/uk-thermonuclear-warheads.10419/post-98670 The UK experience with the US would be similar for Australia.

Good explainer about SMRs one of the most important answers in looking for non-carbon power generation. https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/news/what-are-small-modular-reactors-smrs

So what if sometime shortly after ww2 after Britain relises that they are not getting the bomb tech from the United States, but dosnt think it has the resources to make the bomb on its own, so decides to create a joint project with the French, how would that effect both contrys nuclear and...
