About 60 years ago, scientists discovered that a certain rare earth metal-hydrogen mixture, yttrium, could be the ideal moderator to go inside small, gas-cooled nuclear reactors. But there wasn't a ...

One of his earlier studies, " Optimization of Internal Cooling Fins for Metal Hydride Reactors," was published in Energies 2016, and he has since focused his research on improving the efficiency of ...

The safety systems will be similar but the reactor cores are different between the Triga (fuel rods in a pool type reactor) and the Hyperion Power Generation Uranium Hydride (liquid metal) reactor. No ...

BWX Technologies (BWXT) on Nov. 23 said it has demonstrated the ability to additively manufacture nickel-based super alloys and refractory-metal-based alloys for use in nuclear components. The company ...

The Fuel Division of Rosatom, Russia’s state nuclear corporation, has manufactured and accepted a new type of nuclear fuel assembly, designated OS-5. The assembly is designed for use in ...

The late 2020’s could see the start of a new age of factory mass produced nuclear power. The DOE is putting most of its first of its kind funding ($13 million out of $19 million) for advanced nuclear ...

University of Groningen physicists have visualized hydrogen at the titanium/titanium hydride interface using a transmission electron microscope. Using a new technique, they succeeded in visualizing ...

Texaco Inc. and Energy Conversion Devices Inc. plan to mass-produce nickel metal hydride car batteries for hybrid and electric vehicles. The companies say nickel metal hydride batteries have twice the ...

Metal hydrides are considered a cutting-edge storage material for hydrogen. These hydrides function even better, if the micrometer-sized hydride particles are coated with a thin polymer film. Using a ...

IN the course of an investigation of the catalytic action of certain metal complexes in hydride transfer reactions it was observed that rhodium chloride catalysed the dehydrogenation of isopropanol to ...
