TerraPraxis and Danish floating nuclear power plant developer Seaborg have agreed to assess Seaborg's Compact Molten Salt Reactor as a potential heat source to support the rapid decarbonisation of the ...

After a year of fastidious planning, a microscopic sample of the ultra-rare radioactive element berkelium arrived at a Berkeley Lab. With just 48 hours to experiment before it would become unusable, a ...

In 1960, Dr. Glenn Seaborg, then-chairman of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, confidently predicted that nuclear energy would power half of American homes by the year 2000. For a while, it looked ...

For a while, the chairmanship of the Atomic Energy Commission seemed to be the most unpopular top-level job in Washington: the AEC chairman must not only possess considerable administrative ability, ...

A Danish startup named after an American physicist is working to make nuclear power cheap and scalable—even if it will still be illegal in its home country. Copenhagen-based Seaborg Technologies aims ...
