A nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, like American carriers, would be a major jump for China, giving its navy a global reach.

One of the U.S. Department of Energy's goals is to foster a domestic or friendly nation supply chain for low-enriched uranium for current reactors and the next generation of nuclear technologies.

The Aurora uses high-assay low-enriched uranium-235 fuel (HALEU) in a fairly unique fast reactor design – that is, it uses high-energy neutrons to maintain the nuclear chain reaction.

The United States should establish a nuclear security fund to which the private sector could contribute. Such a fund would allow the United States to better engage the private sector, which is ...

This releases more neutrons, which continue colliding with other atoms, setting off a nuclear chain reaction. This in turn releases a tremendous amount of energy. To convert this energy to ...
