Moore’s Law and nuclear computing
Nuclear has benefited from the computational power of High-Performance Computing (HPC) with its ability to analyse complex data, simulate intricate processes, and optimise operations. Despite facing several challenges, Owen Thomas, founder of Red Oak Consulting, argues that the nuclear sector will continue to thrive as HPC invariably moves to the cloud.
Taking Non-destructive Evaluation to the next generation
Non-destructive Evaluation (NDE) is widely used in the nuclear power industry for routine maintenance, asset management and in-service assessments. The NDE industry is constantly evolving its tools and techniques with the integration of new and emerging automation technology.
Idaho National Laboratory’s future focus
For more than 70 years the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has been at the forefront of reactor research and continues to pioneer novel designs and fuels to power them. Dr Jess C. Gehin, Associate Laboratory Director of Nuclear Science & Technology tells NEI about the cutting edge of nuclear research.
Decarbonising nuclear fuel
Enrichment company Urenco has published its net zero strategy setting out its very ambitious plans for Scope 1,2 and 3 emissions reductions. Chris Pye tells NEI about the challenges and early successes in its bid to reduce emissions.
Enhancing the safety and comfort of nuclear workwear
In the high-stakes world of nuclear energy, ensuring the safety and comfort of personnel with specialised uniforms and workwear is not just a regulatory mandate but a cornerstone of operational efficiency.
