Researchers have found an environmentally safer way to extract the lithium 6 needed to create fuel for nuclear fusion reactors. The new approach doesn’t require toxic mercury, as conventional methods ...

"We are thrilled to partner with such a talented and dynamic team." Scientists announce plan to push US forward in race for ...

Does Fusion produce radioactive nuclear waste the same way fission does? Nuclear fission power plants have the disadvantage of generating unstable nuclei; some of these are radioactive for millions of ...

Scientists are conducting experiments to generate clean energy through fusion, the same sub-atomic reaction that powers our Sun, with the aim of constructing plants that produce more energy than they ...

Future fusion reactors will not produce high activity, long lived nuclear waste, and a meltdown at a fusion reactor is practically impossible. Importantly, nuclear fusion does not emit carbon dioxide ...

A new report by the feds says cleanup at the Hanford site will take until 2086, with other work needed until 2100.

Nuclear fusion has been heralded as the “holy grail of clean energy” for its ability to produce energy without requiring any fossil fuels, or leaving behind hazardous waste. In order to ...

Shorter-Lived Waste: Fusion waste is considerably less hazardous and has a shorter half-life than the waste generated by fission reactors. There are still some key hurdles that need to be overcome ...
