Nuclear Power Worldwide: Status and Outlook
Nuclear power's prominence as a major energy source will continue over the next several decades, according to new projections made by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which has just published a new report, Energy, Electricity and Nuclear Power for the period up to 2030.   view more (2007-10-24)

'Grow your own electricity' says City University
A solid oxide fuel cell, placed in the domestic gas boiler, should generate electricity from the gas every time the boiler is activated. The electricity, if not used around the house, could then be sold back into the national grid - running the electricity meter backwards!   view more (1998-11-10)

Three-pronged nuclear attack
A trio of security vulnerabilities surrounding the use of nuclear power are highlighted today in research papers online with Inderscience Publishers.   view more (2007-07-26)

People Power Over Nuclear Issues
Warren, from the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, UK, says, "Nowhere in this process [developing nuclear facilities] is account taken of what shapes the public's perception of the whole process." The nuclear industry is too keen to blind people with science in presenting its plans, she... view more (1999-02-01)

Nuclear weapons in terrorist hands?
Are nuclear weapons of the simpler variety in the hands of a terrorist group- a realistic threat? That question has been studied in a report from FOI (Swedish Defence Research Agency), and the conclusion is that the possibility of nuclear charges being used for terror ends cannot be written off.... view more (2004-01-16)

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... view more (2007-09-12)

Iowa State engineer works to clean and improve engine performance
The five engines in Song-Charng Kong's Iowa State University laboratory have come a long way since Karl Benz patented a two-stroke internal combustion engine in 1879.   view more (2008-09-18)

Findings could improve fuel cell efficiency
