Nuclear NewsNEW What Does It Take to Reopen a Nuclear Power Plant?Efforts to restart the shuttered Palisades nuclear plant in Michigan have faced significant delays due to unexpected equipment corrosion, supply chain issues, and the need for extensive repairs. Holtec International, the plant operator, encountered these challenges while attempting to recommission the facility, which had been slated for permanent closure in 2022. The difficulties at Palisades highlight the technical and financial complexities of reviving aging nuclear infrastructure compared to maintaining active facilities. While the federal government is providing financial support to encourage these restarts, the process requires rigorous regulatory oversight and thorough inspections. Industry observers note that the success of such projects depends heavily on the operator's prior exper...Core Content 4 days ago 3

Nuclear NewsNEW Study mapping U-10Zr porosity informs metallic fuel designResearchers from Idaho National Laboratory and MIT utilized synchrotron X-ray tomography to map three-dimensional pore networks in irradiated U-10Zr fuel samples. By analyzing fuel pins from the decommissioned Fast Flux Test Facility, the team identified how zirconium distribution and pore morphology influence fission gas release and fuel-cladding chemical interactions during reactor operation. This data challenges existing fuel performance models that previously represented pores as simple spheres. Understanding how these complex networks facilitate liquid sodium flow and fission product migration is necessary for the development of advanced metallic fuels. These findings provide a basis for more accurate simulations to predict fuel longevity and safety in next-generation sodium-cooled fast reactors. Researchers at Idaho National Laboratory and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have conducted a three-dimensional study of irradiated U-10Zr—uranium alloyed with 10 percent zirconium—across key radial regions, providing new insights into how the material swells, transfers heat,...Core Content Yesterday 1
