Many of the failures that occur in nuclear fuel rods in light water reactors around the world are caused by the phenomenon of mechanical interaction between pellets and cladding (PCMI). The process i...
Nuclear safety can be understood as accident prevention in nuclear installations, via its systems and its human resources, and the mitigation of risks and consequences if an accident should occur.
As a low-carbon electricity source, nuclear energy has a role to play in global climate change mitigation efforts.
Nuclear science is the study of the atomic nuclei and their application, including in nuclear power plants, atomic theory and radiation.
