Russia is developing the world's first floating nuclear power plant, which is expected to be operational by 2016.

Overview of how nuclear power plants work.

The floating nuclear power plant Akademik Lomonosov has been connected to an electricity grid and successfully produced power for the first time in the Russian town of Pevek. <br/>

The International Atomic Energy Agency has expressed ‘grave concern’ over Russia’s capture of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, but experts believe it is safe for now.

Nuclear power may not be as bad as you think. If we used Thorium instead of Uranium, we could greatly decrease dangerous radioactive by-products. There is enough Thorium in the world to meet all our energy needs...

Our ability to mine great amounts of energy from uranium nuclei has led some to bill nuclear power as a plentiful, utopian source of electricity. But rather than dominate the global electricity market, nuclear power has declined from a...

We asked our audience what they thought about increasing our reliance on nuclear power, so in this video, we're examing the pros and cons of building more nuclear power plants.

How is this powerful and controversial energy source produced? Do the advantages outweigh the dangers of nuclear power? Earth Science - Earth's Resources - Learning Points. Nuclear power is created using uranium, and small amounts can...

Nuclear power is one of the safest, cleanest forms of energy -- yet to most people, it might not feel that way. Why is that? Isabelle Boemeke, the world's first nuclear energy influencer and creator of the social media persona Isodope,...

Ukrainians living close to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant attack are being given iodine tablets after the plant was targeted by Russian rockets and gunfire.

Sam and the Plant Next Door part 1 Sam, 11, is always being told not to worry about the nuclear power plant rising next door, but for him there is lots to think about. Hinkley Point C will be Britain’s largest nuclear plant, and it’s...

On 11 March 2011, the strongest earthquake in Japan’s history caused a giant tsunami that killed more than 18,000 people along the country’s north-east coast. It also triggered a triple meltdown at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power...

Splitting the atom once promised to be the carbon-free energy source of the future. But today, nuclear power plants are aging and retiring worldwide. What happened?

We aren’t using nuclear fusion to generate power yet because it is incredibly difficult to sustain a fusion reaction. The energy requirements are very high, and it is hard to find materials that can withstand such high temperatures. For...
