Nucleus
First Wave or Second Wave?
It may be time for U.S. nuclear power plant projects with a first-wave build strategy to consider moving to the second wave.

Analyzing Welds in Critical Nuclear Components
Researchers are using computer simulation techniques to characterize residual stresses in structural welded or cast components.

Measuring Control Rod Guide Tube Wear On-site
The main function of the control rod guide tubes (CRGT) in a nuclear power plant is to ensure that the rod cluster control assembly drop (RCCA) meets safety requirements, stopping the chain reaction in a limited time.

Case Study
Battery Capacity Recovery for VRLA Cells—A User’s Perspective
Over the years, McGuire Nuclear Station has experienced a significant number of battery failures and subsequent expensive battery replacements.

Departments
Enrichment
Shovels in the Ground
While nuclear project developers in the U.S. play a heated game of musical chairs to see who will win a government-backed loan guarantee, much of the rest of the world is busy building nuclear power plants.

Fuel for Thought
Support for a Nuclear Revival
The OECD/NEA provides guidance for new nuclear programs.

Safeguards by Design
Facility design can aid or frustrate international safeguards efforts.

News
News
Enough cash has now been pledged to launch the concept of an international bank of low-enriched uranium under International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) control to assure fuel supply to any country, regardless of political considerations.

Data Points
5 Main Types of Nuclear Reactors in Operation
There are more than 400 nuclear power reactors operating in 30 countries plus Taiwan, according to the World Nuclear Association (WNA).

Technology
