Nuclear science, technology and research represent the underlying foundation of all nuclear applications. Nuclear applications contribute in many ways to health, development and security worldwide. They are used in a broad range of areas, from power production to medicine, agriculture, food safety, environment, forensics, industry, and the analysis of artefacts.
Nuclear Energy
Global generation of nuclear energy. Nuclear energy - alongside hydropower - is one of our oldest low-carbon energy technologies. Nuclear power generation has existed since the 1960s but saw massive growth globally in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. The interactive chart shows how global nuclear generation has changed over the past half-century.
A fresh look at nuclear energy
For example, the assumed height of Tsunami waves against Fukushima nuclear power plant #1 was 10 meters while over 14 meters Tsunami waves hit the power plant on March 11, 2011. About nuclear energy, we still have two unsolved problems from the technology and engineering viewpoint: nuclear decommissioning and how to manage nuclear wastes.

DOE Report Finds More Than 60 Gigawatts of New Nuclear Capacity Could
Early research shows that 41 operating and retired nuclear power plant sites have room to host new reactors. The report estimates that these sites could deliver an additional 60 GW or more of new electric power utilizing large light-water reactor technology — such as the AP1000 reactors recently built at Vogtle in Georgia — or 95 GW of ...
Nuclear Energy
Nuclear energy is the energy in the nucleus, or core, of an atom. Atoms are tiny units that make up all matter in the universe, and energy is what holds the nucleus together. There is a huge amount of energy in an atom's dense nucleus.In fact, the power that holds the nucleus together is officially called the "strong force." Nuclear energy can be used to create electricity, but it must first ...
Nuclear power
Nuclear power, electricity generated by power plants that derive their heat from fission in a nuclear reactor. Except for the reactor, a nuclear power plant is similar to a large coal-fired power plant, with pumps, valves, steam generators, turbines, electric generators, condensers, and associated equipment.
Majority of Americans support more nuclear power in the country
A majority of U.S. adults remain supportive of expanding nuclear power in the country, according to a Pew Research Center survey from May.
