Small Modular Reactors
An alternate path to achieving the nuclear renaissance?

Pulverizing Oxide Layers
Making short work of nuclear water pipe decontamination can reduce radioactive exposure and waste.

IFR Redux
A technology that was developed almost 20 years ago is being considered in the U.S. for long-term spent nuclear fuel strategy.

Diablo Canyon Unit 1 Steam Generator Replacement Project
SGT West (SGT), a URS Washington Division/AREVA NP joint venture company, provided services for replacing four steam generators at Unit 1 of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant (DCPP) in California.

Case Study
Destructive Vibration Traced to Resonant Acoustics
A root-cause investigation was undertaken at a North American nuclear generating facility when 4 kV switchgear bearings failed.

Departments
At the Core
In the Foyer with the Coffee
The mood was upbeat at the American Nuclear Society annual meeting—with qualifications.

Enrichment
Not Taking Heavy Components Lightly
When we talk about building new nuclear power plants, cost is usually the number one concern, but supply chain issues could put the brakes on construction faster than cost over-runs.

Fuel for Thought
India Ready to Expand Nuclear Program
For three decades, the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) imposed a nuclear embargo on India since the country was a non-signatory of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

News

Apollo for Tube Inspection was developed by GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies to take on heat exchanger inspections to help achieve balance-of-plant.

Data Points
Energy Density
Nuclear power involves the conversion of mass into energy. This mass is lost when a large atom (uranium) undergoes fission into two or more smaller atoms.
