Neutron beam research and reactor technology constitute a vibrant field at the forefront of materials analysis, non‐destructive imaging and advanced reactor design. The utilisation of neutrons for ...

A new theory suggests fusion reactors could help scientists search for axions, mysterious particles that may explain dark ...

A new study suggests fusion reactors could generate axions—hypothetical dark matter particles—when fast neutrons collide with ...

Reactors designed to produce energy from the fusion of atoms could have an unexpected scientific side benefit.

The figure illustrates the experimental setup used to measure neutron leakage spectra from natural lead (nat Pb) slab samples, employing both D-T and D-D neutron sources at the integral experiment ...

Burnable absorbers are key components in modern nuclear reactor design, serving to mitigate the excess reactivity inherent in fresh reactor cores while simultaneously enhancing operational safety and ...

One of the four missions at DOE’s High Flux Isotope Reactor is neutron scattering, a research technique used to study matter at the atomic scale. These neutrons are produced at HFIR through fission, ...

Could future fusion reactors also serve as laboratories in which to manufacture dark matter? That’s the provocative question ...

As night descends on the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) bursts with activity. A rigorous 24-day fuel cycle concludes and neutron production ...

MINSK, 15 December (BelTA) – Belarus will be able to take part in the operation of the international research center based on a multipurpose fast-neutron research reactor. Vyacheslav Pershukov, Deputy ...

Testing basic principles of particle physics does not necessarily require a high-energy accelerator. As Peter Geltenbort explains, a growing community of neutron scientists is probing similarly ...

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) once again brings together the fast reactor and related fuel cycles communities by organizing the International Conference on Fast Reactors and Related ...
