Nuclear energy is going to have to fit into a more flexible energy market in the future, and our faculty and students are exploring how to optimize that complexity
Co-optimization of nuclear reactor flexible power operation and maintenance scheduling
As flexible power operation of nuclear power plants becomes more attractive due to the reduction in fossil-fueled dispatchable generation on energy gr…

It’s great to see this kind of progress in developing HALEU fuel for commercial reactors, but reactor.engr.wisc.edu has been doing critical experiments with HALEU for 15 years (as have many other research reactors around the country)
LANL researchers complete HALEU criticality experiment
The Deimos experiment at Los Alamos National Laboratory is the first criticality experiment using high assay low-enriched uranium fuel to be carried out in the USA in more than 20 years...

We’re thrilled to home to honoree Ben Lindley & alma mater to 4 others
Nuclear News announces their very first 40 Under 40 list!
The amount of talent here is oof, incredible! And the list features several folks on here:

Happy birthday to the first human harnessing of the fission chain reaction!
Happy December 2nd, a day that marks the first man-made nuclear chain reaction (CP-1, 1942) and the first chain reaction in the first purely civilian nuclear power plant exactly 15 years later (Shippingport, 1957).
