Months after satellites picked up a massive nuclear fusion facility in China’s Sichuan province, the country’s nuclear industry has blown the lid off fission tech. During a private meeting earlier this month, researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences revealed the successful…
The Nuclear Energy Mission for Viksit Bharat was announced as part of the Union Budget of 2025-26. This is a clear signal of policy predictability and making the necessary legislative amendments to enhance India’s nuclear power production through the promotion…
Unit 7 at the Rajasthan Atomic Power Project is the third 700 MWe indigenous pressurised heavy water reactor to be connected to the Indian grid. The unit – which is also known as RAPP-7 – reached first criticality in September…
China Activates the World’s First Commercial Thorium-Fueled Nuclear Reactor – A Breakthrough in Nuclear Chemistry China has officially activated the world’s first commercial thorium-fueled nuclear reactor, marking a major milestone in nuclear energy. Unlike conventional uranium-based reactors, this molten…
The installation of the second tier of the inner containment building for Egypt’s El Dabaa nuclear power plant’s second unit took just over a fortnight to complete. The second tier of the cylindrical building, which houses the reactor and primary circuit…
No energy system has a perfect safety record, but nuclear is statistically just as safe as solar panels and wind turbines and far safer than fossil fuels. In fact, nuclear is estimated to have saved over 1.84 million lives worldwide by offsetting…
Türkiye is charting an ambitious course in nuclear energy, pursuing a multi-project strategy to enhance its energy security, industrial growth, and technological independence. With a target of reaching 7.2 GW of nuclear capacity by 2035 and expanding to 20 GW…
What is Hydraulic Snubber? Hydraulic Snubber is a device developed to protect high pressure/temperature piping system in power generating plants and various types of industrial plants mainly in Nuclear Industry. They function to restrain undesirable displacement of piping system or…
India has set an ambitious goal to expand its nuclear power capacity to 100 gigawatts (GW) by 2047, a significant increase from the current 8 GW. This initiative aims to enhance energy security, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and contribute…
Types of Snubbers used in the nuclear industry. In the nuclear industry, snubbers are primarily used in piping systems, reactor coolant loops, and structural supports to absorb shocks, vibrations, and dynamic loads caused by seismic events, thermal expansion, and…
