As of now, “nuclear energy” in practical contexts refers to fission, or splitting heavy particles to generate massive loads of energy. The goal is to eventually transition to fusion, which combines ...

Outside of those in the Department of Nuclear Engineering & Engineering Physics within the College of Engineering, few know that the University of Wisconsin is home to a one-megawatt TRIGA research ...

The initiation of a controlled nuclear fission chain reaction at the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor sees India move into the second stage of a three-stage nuclear programme which ultimately aims to ...
