He’s done it for real. His memories of working at a Westinghouse Pressurized Water Reactor over 30 years ago are so sharp that he’s been building a nuclear reactor “simulator” running on ...

It is used primarily for training and research in the fields of nuclear science, radiochemistry and engineering. The reactor is housed in a containment building which is part of the UML Radiation ...

Building a forge is expensive and tricky ... on a kit to bring induction heating to the masses — he calls it the Reactor Forge. The kit hasn’t launched yet, but you can follow his progress ...

The process took 2 hours and 12 minutes, State Power Investment Corporation subsidiary Shandong Nuclear Power Group announced. The steel containment shell is an important part of the nuclear island ...

A startup in Israel is developing a nuclear reactor no bigger than a desktop computer. Having proved that the breakthrough technology works, Metatron N.R.G. now aims to build a fully functioning ...

The nuclear reactor is housed within a steel pressure container inside another containment building, which is usually made out of concrete. The containment building surrounds the nuclear reactor.

The major expense in a standard PWR is the enormous reactor pressure vessel made of 8 to 12-inch thick steel, the large pressurizer, and the huge containment building with concrete walls 3 to 6 ...

It supports the reactor’s 440-ton pressure vessel. The interior of the No. 1 reactor’s containment vessel was inspected in May for TEPCO’s eventual plans to retrieve the melted nuclear fuel ...
