The University of Jyväskylä (Finland), in collaboration with the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (STUK), has developed a new type of handheld multi-purpose radiation detector that ...

Reactor radiation-shielding optimization methods are proposed by combining many-objective evolutionary algorithms with particle-transport calculation software that can optimize the reactor ...

Vladimir Putin's recent threats of nuclear weapon use are deeply concerning. A nuclear war would have catastrophic consequences, both short and long-term, including radiation-induced cancers. However, ...

Chemists report that radiation-induced chemical reactions may help mitigate the corrosion of metals in a new type of nuclear reactor cooled by molten salts. High temperatures and ionizing radiation ...

This tiny chip can withstand temperatures up to 1,500 degrees and could one day sit inside the core of a nuclear reactor, delivering critical real-time data. Reading time 2 minutes Generating nuclear ...

My first encounter with one of the devices was about six decades ago (and only three decades after its improvement as an invention). I had no need for one prior to then. Three men played roles in ...

A new map offers a new perspective on the city, revealing the steady, ever-present natural radiation emerging from the ground ...
