Researchers make breakthrough with new type of nuclear fuel rods: 'Realizing the full scientific potential of this material'

Nuclear fuel rods that work more efficiently, last much longer, and minimize nuclear waste may soon help generate more sustainable energy sources. Interesting Engineering shared the latest development on a new type of nuclear fuel designed by Global Nuclear Fuel, a joint venture of GE Vernova and Hitachi Ltd. The project is being developed through the Department of Energy's Accident Tolerant Fuel program, which aims for safer and more cost-effec…
