Nuclear Projects

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California are exploring new techniques for creating superheavy elements, focusing on the potential synthesis of “element 120,” also called unbinilium. If successful, this addition could lead to an eighth row on the periodic table. Using ion bombardment, researchers demonstrated a process t...

China is set to build a lunar base at the moon's south pole by 2035, with the project rolling out in two phases. The first phase will conclude by 2035, while a more comprehensive model is expected by 2050. The base will utilise solar, radioisotope, and nuclear generators for power, along with advanced communication networks. Lunar vehicles, includi...

A historic letter written by Albert Einstein to President Franklin D Roosevelt in 1939, urging the US to develop a nuclear program, is set to be auctioned for at least $4 million.

Engineering major Megha Engineering & Infrastructure Ltd (MEIL) on Wednesday said that it has emerged as the lowest bidder for a contract related to a nuclear project worth Rs 12,800 crore.

The laser is installed at a centre near Bucharest. It is located near a nuclear research facility that had long housed a Soviet reactor, as per the outlet.

Russia and China are "seriously" considering a project to install a nuclear reactor on the Moon in the next decade, the official media in Moscow quoted the head of the Russian space corporation as saying.

The project is due to be completed by 2029 and is expected to create a range of new jobs for scientists.

The Doomsday Clock has been ticking for 76 years, but on Tuesday, it was set at 90 seconds until midnight, the closest to the hour it has ever been. The midnight has a symbolic meaning - representing the point of annihilation.

Britain on Tuesday ousted China's nuclear firm CGN from construction of its new Sizewell C nuclear power station, which will now be built with remaining French partner EDF.

French President Emmanuel Macron will visit India early next year amid a renewed push for the construction of nuclear power reactors at Jaitapur in Maharashtra.

India's largest power producer is looking to develop another massive nuclear project just weeks after announcing its entry into the sector

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday reviewed ongoing bilateral initiatives, including defence collaboration projects and cooperation in civil nuclear energy.

With the first pour of concrete for a 700 MW atomic power plant in Karnataka's Kaiga scheduled in 2023, India is set to put in motion construction activities for 10 'fleet mode' nuclear reactors over the next three years.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries said Thursday it will work with Japan's atomic energy agency to provide technical assistance to a US start-up run by Bill Gates that is building a next-generation nuclear reactor in Wyoming.

The Korean government is planning to develop a technology for South Korea's first artificial sun 'KSTAR' to maintain 100 million degrees for 300 seconds by 2026. The 300 seconds is the minimum time required for the commercialisation of nuclear fusion technology.
