Flow-induced vibration (FIV) poses a substantial challenge in nuclear reactor design, particularly in the context of fuel rod assemblies. These vibrations arise from the complex fluid–structure ...

produce a gas tight joint at one end of a SiGA® cladding rod. “Our patented local joining process seals the fuel rods without exposing the nuclear fuel pellets to high temperature water,” said Scott ...

A US nuclear reactor has switched from Regular to Premium fuel with Southern Nuclear inserting four Lead Test Assemblies (LTAs) into the Vogtle Unit 2 reactor in Waynesboro, Georgia that contains ...

These contributions were presented as part of the conference proceedings published by ANS, underscoring Lightbridge’s commitment to rigorous, peer-reviewed research in nuclear fuel innovation. For ...
