Photographer Arkadiusz Podniesiński was given exclusive access inside the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant to document its current state.
Towns and cities have been a symbol of development, growth, and prosperity of modern society. However, life in some of them is long gone.
When the Chernobyl nuclear plant suffered the power output surge that would destroy its #4 reactor, a substance called ‘corium’ was formed. This originally lava-like substance formed ou…
Incredible photos taken inside the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant revealed the never-ending corridors and miles of cables inside the sarcophagus.
About 9% of the world's electricity is produced from nuclear energy. Most nuclear electricity is generated using just two kinds of reactor. New designs are coming forward and some are in operation as the first generation reactors come to the end of their operating lives.
There is revival of interest in small and simpler units for generating electricity from nuclear power, and for process heat. This interest in smaller nuclear power reactors is driven both by a desire to reduce the impact of capital costs and to provide power away from large grid systems.
Control Rods in Nuclear Reactors
Fusion reactors will use abundant sources of fuel, will not leak radiation above normal background levels, and will produce less radioactive waste than current fission reactors. Learn about this promising power source.
From the collection of The University of New Mexico, a big collection of cutaway diagrams of nuclear reactors.
Engineering principles of nuclear reactors, emphasizing power reactors. Topics include power plant thermodynamics, reactor heat generation and removal (single-phase as well as two-phase coolant flow and heat transfer), structural mechanics, and engineering considerations in reactor design.

Nuclear fusion is cited as a safe, clean and sustainable energy we all need, but alas to make this technology commercial has been quite a headache. Development has been slow - Iter nuclear fusion project started in 1985 is still only in it's infancy with an experimental plant that is only just being built…
NASA is having a bit of a renaissance. It is once again reaching for the Moon, and is even preparing for a Mars mission, along with next-gen solar system probes. But they need a new energy source to…

Foreign Suppliers May Get Left Out; Westinghouse Hands Over Plans
Los Alamos engineers are working on a tiny, steel-encased core regulated by physics, not pumps.
Nuclear reactors in operation today fulfill one of two essential purposes: power generation or research. And startup rods play a vital role in managing the energy output of those reactors.
