Introduction Hydraulic system performance and service life depend heavily on fluid cleanliness.Contaminants such as metal particles, dust, moisture, and degraded oil residues can cause: Premature wear of components Valve malfunction and sticking Seal damage and leakage Unexpected system failures To…
In the wake of satellite images capturing a large nuclear fusion site in Sichuan, China’s nuclear advancements continue to draw global attention—this time in the realm of nuclear fission. At a recent closed-door session, scientists from the Chinese Academy of…
India has achieved another milestone in its nuclear energy programme with the successful grid connection of Unit 7 at the Rajasthan Atomic Power Project (RAPP-7), marking the third domestically developed 700 megawatt electric (MWe) pressurised heavy water reactor (PHWR) to…
In a significant step for nuclear innovation, China has commenced operations at the world’s first commercial-scale nuclear reactor powered by thorium. This molten salt reactor (MSR) sets itself apart from traditional designs by using thorium-232 as the core…
Construction of Egypt’s first nuclear power facility, the El Dabaa Nuclear Power Plant, continues to advance rapidly with the recent completion of a key structural milestone at Unit 2. The second level of the inner containment structure was installed in…
While no energy source is entirely risk-free, nuclear energy ranks among the safest—comparable to solar and wind, and significantly safer than fossil fuels. In fact, research indicates that nuclear energy may have prevented more than 1.8 million deaths globally by…
Türkiye is undertaking a bold initiative to strengthen its energy independence and industrial capacity through a comprehensive nuclear development strategy. Aiming to reach 7.2 GW of nuclear power by 2035 and ramp up to 20 GW by 2050, the country…
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…
