VTT and the French Atomic Energy Commission CEA sign a cooperation agreement on nuclear energy research
VTT`s Director General, Erkki KM Lepp'¤vuori and the French CEA`s Director, Pascal Colombani signed an agreement on research cooperation in Paris . The agreement covers technology and research cooperations in the fields of spent nuclear fuels and nuclear waste management, nuclear research, training in nuclear technology, information exchange in the field of nuclear energy, and nuclear safety....

Is nuclear power fair for future generations?
The recent nuclear accident in Fukushima Daiichi in Japan has brought the nuclear debate to the forefront of controversy. View More (2011-05-06)
Kyoto climate commitments - a challenge for UK energy policy, say Academies
The report examines options for generating electricity without emission of CO2. These include using renewable sources (such as wind and solar) and negating CO2 emissions by use of 'carbon sequestration', as well as maintaining a nuclear energy capability. View More (1999-06-14)
Nuclear cannibals
Nuclear energy production must increase by more than 10 percent each year from 2010 to 2050 to meet all future energy demands and replace fossil fuels, but this is an unsustainable prospect. View More (2008-03-05)
Rebalancing the nuclear debate through education
Better physics teaching with a particular emphasis on radioactivity and radiation science could improve public awareness through education of the environmental benefits and relative safety of nuclear power generation, according to leading Brazilian scientist Heldio Villar. View More (2011-09-12)
Low-carbon hybrid energy systems -- China's future energy solutions
A low-carbon solution to high-carbon energy resources such as coal is proposed by their high efficient integration with either nuclear or renewable energy, which may figure out the strategic solution to China's future energy development. View More (2013-02-11)
Tried and true recipes
Nuclear reactor technology research dwindled away when nuclear power fell out of favor several decades ago. Renewed interest in fission-based energy means knowledge gained in past research is relevant again. View More (2011-03-07)
Reactor of the future destroys nuclear waste--KTH to head major EU project to cut storage times dramatically
A power plant that generates energy from used nuclear waste and destroys it as well. Could this become a reality? A three-year research project involving 23 European partners coordinated by KTH is being launched to investigate the matter. In the last few years great strides have been taken in research into so-called transmutation (see footnote) of nuclear waste. Therefore, the EU is now... View More (2004-03-18)
Sustainable nuclear energy moves a step closer
In future a new generation of nuclear reactors will create energy, while producing virtually no long-lasting nuclear waste, according to research conducted by Wilfred van Rooijen, who will receive his Delft University of Technology PhD degree based on this research subject on Tuesday, 12 December.

A wasted opportunity?
British biologists are urging UK Departments of the Environment to expand a proposed two-year research programme into nuclear waste disposal in length and range to at least five years. Without knowledge of the biological and geological effects for each radioactive isotope, it will be impossible to establish best policy. In a response to Proposals for Developing Policy (submitted today to DEFRA... View More (2002-03-19)
MU Researchers Create Smaller and More Efficient Nuclear Battery
Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient. View More (2009-10-08)
Tackling the threat of nuclear terrorism
The only effective way to tackle the threat of nuclear terrorism is to abolish nuclear weapons and establish strict international control of all fissile materials that could be used to make new weapons, argue three US physicians in this week's BMJ. In the aftermath of 11 September 2001, nuclear terrorism has emerged as a real threat and could take several forms, from an attack on nuclear power... View More (2002-02-06)
Trade-offs reveal no clear favorites in alternative energy market
The nuclear power industry is riding the green wave back into public favor with its promise of a low-carbon solution to our growing energy needs. But even as the industry struggles to dictate what role nuclear can realistically play, it is bound by a global energy landscape-from solar to carbon sequestration-that is still predominantly shaped by the marketplace.

A French nuclear exit?
France has been held up, worldwide, as the forerunner in using nuclear fission to produce electricity. However, a third of the nation's nuclear reactors will need replacing in the next decade, and public opinion has shifted toward reducing reliance on nuclear power. View More (2013-01-08)
MIT: Lack of fuel may limit US nuclear power expansion
Limited supplies of fuel for nuclear power plants may thwart the renewed and growing interest in nuclear energy in the United States and other nations, says an MIT expert on the industry. View More (2007-03-22)
Location, location, location: Transcriptional activity and nuclear position
Dr. Mark Groudine (FHCRC) and colleagues report on their surprising characterization of changes in intranuclear organization during murine erythropoiesis. View More (2006-05-18)
What Shall We Do With Nuclear Waste?
There are two ways of dealing with the problem of nuclear waste. The first one is the easiest but not the most sensible: you can simply bury nuclear waste products and try to forget about them. However, this way does not seem to be the most rational. It seems much more attractive to try to derive some benefit from the situation. In this case it is worth extracting the compounds that could be used... View More (2002-03-12)
Researchers move closer to switching nuclear isomer decay on and off
Livermore researchers have moved one step closer to being able to turn on and off the decay of a nuclear isomer. View More (2007-04-06)
Direct photon properties reveal secrets of extreme nuclear states
When atomic nuclei are smashed together at great speed, resulting temperatures exceed one trillion degrees, 200 million times hotter than the surface of the sun. View More (2006-04-26)
Nuclear weapons continue to pose a serious health risk in Europe
Nuclear weapons in various European countries, particularly Russia, pose a serious threat to health, argues a letter in this week's BMJ. View More (2005-07-25)
