Fusion as a Way for Limitless Energy Revolution in the World
Fusion Energy as a Solution to Carbon Emissions Fusion energy has the potential to produce clean and sustainable energy by imitating the nuclear reactions that occur in the sun and release huge amounts of energy. Scientists and engineers around the world have been working for years to turn this potential into reality. Fusion energy can […]
Advancing Radiation Detection Instruments for Global Nuclear Security
Innovative ideas on how artificial intelligence, machine learning, uncrewed aerial systems, and other technologies can be used to enhance existing radiation detection capabilities for nuclear security are being explored by many countries around the world. During an IAEA technical meeting held from 14 to 18 August 2023, best practices, accomplishments, and challenges in the use […]
Giant Curtain in Energy Revolution: China Builds World’s First Thorium Reactor
Energy is one of the most important criteria in the world and we can say that it is the most important requirement of every function. Without energy, there can be no production, and it is not even possible to consume the produced materials and commodities. When we look at the old World Wars and even […]
Madame Curie’s Death Anniversary: The Founder of Radiation
Marie Curie, one of the most brilliant scientists in history, died on 4 July 1934, leaving behind several big scientific accomplishments, which led her to get two Nobel prizes, in Physics and Chemistry. Probably, she lost her life due to the harmful effects of radioactivity. Her research life was closely related to that of her […]
European Commission considers nuclear a low carbon source of hydrogen
The European Commission will consider hydrogen produced from nuclear power as “low-carbon”, Paula Abreu Marques, head of unit for renewables and CCS policy at the European Commission’s energy directorate told the European Parliament on 16 November. On 8 July, the European Commission adopted the EU Hydrogen Strategy, which sets out how hydrogen can support the decarbonisation […]

IAEA Steps Up To Help With Covid -19 Detection
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said it was dispatching a preliminary batch of equipment to more than 40 countries to enable them to use a nuclear-derived technique to rapidly detect the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. This emergency assistance is part of the IAEA’s response to requests for support from around 90 Member States in […]
IAEA launches project to examine economics of Small Modular Reactors
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is launching a three-year Coordinated Research Project focused on the economics of small modular reactors (SMRs). The project will provide Member States with an economic appraisal framework for the development and deployment of such reactors. Small Modular Reactors are of interest to the nuclear community due to their economic […]
COVID-19 Coronavirus and Nuclear Energy
Nuclear reactors have a key role to play in many countries in ensuring that electricity supplies are maintained during the COVID-19 crisis. Reactor operators are taking steps to protect their workforce and are implementing business continuity plans to ensure the continuing functioning of key aspects of their businesses. Operations are being halted at some facilities […]
