During its years producing plutonium for nuclear weapons, Hanford dumped effluent directly into the Columbia River and into ineffective containment ponds, polluting the surrounding groundwater and ...

Deconstruction of a nuclear plant in Vernon, Vermont, that closed more than a decade ago is nearing completion.

Although nuclear fission, which powers nuclear reactors, can provide plenty of energy, it also produces potentially dangerous radioactive waste as a by-product. Now, researchers say they may have ...

In a bold step toward sustainable nuclear waste management, Finland is poised to become the first nation to bury spent nuclear fuel rods deep underground for long-term storage, the BBC reported.

The project is meant to build a site near Bure to store radioactive waste securely for hundreds of thousands of years.

Countries around the world are continually looking for ways to minimize their reliance on dirty energy sources such as coal, oil, and gas while still providing their citizens with all they need.

A wasp nest found in South Carolina had radiation levels 10 times higher than what’s allowed by federal regulators. It was spotted at a site that used to make key parts for nuclear weapons. Officials ...

Workers at a site in South Carolina that once made key parts for nuclear bombs in the U.S. have found a radioactive wasp nest but officials said there is no danger to anyone. Employees who routinely ...

Nuclear fusion could produce almost boundless energy with zero emissions or waste, but is not yet viable on a large scale because of the cost and difficulty generating the right conditions.

The waste could be used for nuclear fusion, say researchers. Although nuclear fission, which powers nuclear reactors, can provide plenty of energy, it also produces potentially dangerous radioactive ...
