Nuclear is getting smaller, literally, and it’s opening opportunities for the industry. Much has been published about SMRs (Small Modular Reactors) but less so of micro-reactors. Micro-reactors will be small enough to be transported by truck, rail, or air and could help solve energy challenges in many areas, ranging from remote commercial or residential locations […]
Read MoreTHE STATE OF THE INDUSTRY – by Sid Crouch, GTTSi Chief Technical Consultant Nuclear proponents are optimistic after Vogtle 3 achieved commercial operation, with Unit 4 close behind.

Read MoreCentrus Energy Corporation, located in Piketon, Ohio, has produced the nation’s first 20 kilograms of High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) fuel and ahead of schedule. HALEU fuel is uranium enriched so that the concentration of the fissile isotope uranium-235 is between 5% and 20% of the mass of uranium. Most of the current nuclear power plants […]
Read MoreSeven years ago, a doctoral student at the University of California at Irvine, Mya Le Thai, accidentally discovered that if she used a gold nanowire in an electrolyte gel, rather than lithium, she could extend the nano-battery life increasing its charging cycles. Note: A battery charging cycle is when the battery goes from fully charged […]
Read MoreAs we continue to transition toward a cleaner, more sustainable energy future, renewable energy sources like wind turbines and solar panels have become increasingly prominent. They have played a pivotal role in the plan to reduce carbon emissions and lessen our reliance on fossil fuels; however, one aspect of the renewable energy landscape that often […]
