In the newly built Yoohu scientific island, next to the city of Nancheng, China advances discreetly in its plans to materialize a project that the United States explored and abandoned decades ago: the hybrid fusion-fission reactor. Xinghou-1. His name means “spark”, and is inspired by an appointment by Mao Zedong: “A single spark can set … Read more
In the field of nuclear fusion ITER (International Thermonuclear Experctor reactor), The experimental reactor that an international consortium led by Europe is building in the French town of Cadarache, monopolizes all eyes. However, in the old continent we have other fusion energy machines that are also very important. The Wendelstein 7-X experimental reactorwhich is installed … Read more
The adjective “titanic” fits as a glove if our intention is to describe the reactor of nuclear fusion experimental ITER (International Thermonuclear Experctor reactor), The machine that an international consortium led by Europe He is building in the French town of Cadarache. This ingenuity is titanic for its dimensions. Also by The size of the … Read more
It happened on February 14 of this year. An explosive drone Shahed 136 Iranian manufacturing and possibly launched by Russia left a Huge “scar” In the confinement structure of the Chernobil reactor, considered one of the greatest features of modern engineering and designed to contain the radiation of the worst nuclear disaster in history. That … Read more
The proliferation of large data centers for artificial intelligence (AI) raises a very serious energy problem. Both, in fact, that the US Department of Energy is considering the possibility that companies that have large data centers Dedicated to the training of AI models install in their vicinity A small nuclear power plant that is able … Read more
April 26, 1986 was Saturday. The day will always be remembered for what happened at a nuclear power plant located in northern Ukraine (then belonging to the Soviet Union). The explosion of reactor 4 in Chernobil produced the worse nuclear accident of history, and the Soviets built in a hurry A sarcophagus to try to … Read more
China has deservedly consolidated as the country to which all the nations that bet on nuclear energy look. On the one hand, it already has The same number of nuclear reactors that France in operation: 56. only US surpasses them both with their 94 active nuclear reactors. However, ambition in this area of the country … Read more
United States and China are measuring their spatial capabilities In a race to build the first lunar base. Although NASA was victorious from the previous race to the moon against the Soviet Union, It is not so clear that it takes the lead On this occasion. For now, Chinese scientists They have found failures In … Read more
The experimental reactors of nuclear fusion of type Stellarator They represent a very solid alternative to Tokamakas ITER either JET. And they are not precisely the result of a recent investigation. In fact, both designs were designed During the 50s of the last century. He Stellarator It was designed by the American physicist Lyman Spitzer … Read more
We have news of the experimental reactor of nuclear fusion from the University of Seville. Very good news. The SMART Tokamak plan aims to develop a type reactor tokamak extraordinarily compact. In fact, the acronym SMART comes from the English name ‘SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak’. Building a compact fusion energy reactor is not easy. In … Read more
