The designing of APSARA, a pool-type reactor, using enriched uranium fuel was conceptualized in 1955 by Dr.Homi Jehangir Bhabha, the great visionary and father of the Indian nuclear programme. The reactor was dedicated to the nation and named as APSARA by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru.

thermonuclear bomb, also called hydrogen bomb, or H-bomb, weapon whose enormous explosive power results from an uncontrolled self-sustaining chain reaction in which isotopes of hydrogen combine under extremely high temperatures to form helium in a process known as nuclear fusion.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., January 25, 2023 -- ( BUSINESS WIRE )--Oklo Inc. has submitted a Licensing Project Plan (LPP) to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), outlining Oklo's plans for.

A company backed by Amazon's Jeff Bezos is set to build a large-scale nuclear fusion demonstration plant in Oxfordshire. Canada's General Fusion is one of the leading private firms aiming to turn.

Kamini (Kalpakkam Mini) reactor is a Uranium-233 fueled, demineralized light water moderated and cooled, beryllium oxide reflected, low power nuclear research reactor located in the post irradiation examination facility of Radio Metallurgy Laboratory, Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research, Kalpakkam, India.

On March 28, 1979, equipment failures and operator error contributed to loss of coolant and a partial core meltdown of Unit 2's pressurized water reactor at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Power Plant in Pennsylvania. [13]

There are several types of nuclear reactors, but the most common one is the Pressurized Water Reactor (PWR). This article will briefly explain how nuclear reactors work and outline the main components involved. 1. The Nuclear Reaction. At the core of a nuclear reactor is the process of nuclear fission, which involves the splitting of atomic nuclei.

The reactor as a whole did not produce a net gain of energy. For a fusion reaction to be practically useful, the tens of megajoules drawn from the electrical grid, converted into the laser beams.
