- What is Nuclear Fusion? - International Atomic Energy Agency03 Aug 2023. Matteo Barbarino, IAEA Department of Nuclear Sciences and Applications. Nuclear fusion is the process by which two light atomic nuclei combine to form a single heavier one while releasing massive amounts of energy. Fusion reactions take place in a state of matter called plasma — a hot, charged gas made of positive ions and free ...
- What are Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)? - International Atomic Energy ...The IAEA hosts technical meetings, produces scientific and technical publications and facilitates coordinated research projects. This article was first published on 4 November 2021. Small modular reactors (SMRs) are advanced nuclear reactors that have a power capacity of up to 300 MW (e) per unit, which is about one-third of the generating ...

Samples of Oklo donated to Vienna's Natural History Museum. (Photo: Ludovic Ferrière/Natural History Museum) Physicist Francis Perrin sat at a nuclearfuel-processing plant down in the south of France, thinking to himself: “This cannot be possible.”. It was ...
- What is Nuclear Energy? The Science of Nuclear PowerThe Science of Nuclear Power. Nuclear energy is a form of energy released from the nucleus, the core of atoms, made up of protons and neutrons. This source of energy can be produced in two ways: fission – when nuclei of atoms split into several parts – or fusion – when nuclei fuse together. The nuclear energy harnessed around the world ...
- IAEA Releases Nuclear Power Data and Operating Experience for 2023As of the end of December 2023, global operational nuclear power capacity was 371.5 GW (e), provided by 413 reactors in 31 countries. However, only 403 reactors, with a combined capacity of 364.5 GW (e), reported their electricity production to the IAEA. Twenty-five reactors remained in suspended operations throughout the year, despite being ...
