Nuclear technology

Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport Code (MCNP) is a software package for simulating nuclear processes.

A nuclear power phase-out is the discontinuation of usage of nuclear power for energy production.

Nuclear fuel is a substance that is used in nuclear power stations to produce heat to power turbines.

The terms atomic battery, nuclear battery, tritium battery and radioisotope generator are used to describe a device which uses energy from the decay of a radioactive isotope to generate electricity.

A neutron poison (also called a neutron absorber or a nuclear poison) is a substance with a large neutron absorption cross-section, in applications such as nuclear reactors.

The anti-nuclear movement is a social movement that opposes various nuclear technologies.

Nuclear engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with the application of the breakdown (fission) as well as the fusion of atomic nuclei and/or the application of other sub-atomic physics, based on the principles of nuclear physics.

The nuclear fuel cycle, also called nuclear fuel chain, is the progression of nuclear fuel through a series of differing stages.

Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin for Materials and Energy is part of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres.

Beryllium oxide (BeO), also known as beryllia, is an inorganic compound with the formula BeO.

Floating nuclear power stations (Russian: плавучая атомная теплоэлектростанция малой мощности, ПАТЭС ММ - lit. floating combined heat and power (CHP) low-power nuclear station) are vessels designed by Rosatom.

Serpent is a continuous-energy Monte Carlo reactor physics code capable for highly detailed, three-dimensional burnup calculation.

Nuclear fission products are the atomic fragments left after a large atomic nucleus undergoes nuclear fission.

The nuclear weapons debate refers to the controversies surrounding the threat, use and stockpiling of nuclear weapons.

Nuclear reactor physics is the branch of science that deals with the study and application of chain reaction to induce a controlled rate of fission in a nuclear reactor for the production of energy.

Nuclear Power School is a technical school operated by the U.

Nuclear navy, or nuclear-powered navy consists of naval ships powered by relatively small onboard nuclear reactors known as naval reactors.

Radiolysis is the dissociation of molecules by nuclear radiation.

Peaceful nuclear explosions (PNEs) are nuclear explosions conducted for non-military purposes, such as activities related to economic development including the creation of canals.

(For other uses, see Myrrha and Myrrha (disambiguation).) The MYRRHA (Multi-purpose hYbrid Research Reactor for High-tech Applications) is a "first of its kind" design project of a nuclear reactor coupled to a proton accelerator (a so-called Accelerator-driven system (ADS)).

The Deactivation and Decommissioning Knowledge Management Information Tool (D&D KM-IT) is a centralized web-based knowledge management information tool built for the D&D user community by the Applied Research Center (ARC) at Florida International University (FIU) in collaboration with the United States Department of Energy, the Energy Facility Contractors Group (EFCOG), and the former ALARA Centers at the Hanford Site and Savannah River Site.

Spallation is a process in which fragments of material (spall) are ejected from a body due to impact or stress.

Uranium in the environment refers to the science of the sources, environmental behaviour, and effects of uranium on humans and other animals.

Cosmogenic nuclides (or cosmogenic isotopes) are rare isotopes created when a high-energy cosmic ray interacts with the nucleus of an in situ Solar System atom, causing nucleons (protons and neutrons) to be expelled from the atom (see cosmic ray spallation).
