Nuclear fusion reactors could also be used, perhaps providing somewhat higher power.

Nuclear reactors line the riverbank at the Hanford Site along the Columbia River in January 1960.

Nuclear reactors producing steam are used to propel warships and icebreakers, and there have been attempts to utilize them to power commercial vessels.

* powerful superconducting electromagnets used in maglev trains, Magnetic Resonance Imaging ( MRI ) and Nuclear magnetic resonance ( NMR ) machines, magnetic confinement fusion reactors ( e. g. tokamaks ), and the beam-steering and focusing magnets used in particle accelerators

As vice president and general manager of GE's Nuclear Products Division in San Jose, California, he was responsible for the manufacture of nuclear fuel, reactor internal equipment, and control and instrumentation for GE boiling-water reactors at facilities located in San Jose and Wilmington, North Carolina.

North Korea was a party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty but withdrew in 2003, citing the failure of the United States to fulfill its end of the Agreed Framework, a 1994 agreement between the states to limit North Korea's nuclear ambitions, begin normalization of relations, and help North Korea supply some energy needs through nuclear reactors.

North Korea has had two operating reactors, both located at the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center.

The first of these two partially constructed reactors was also in the Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center.

Salem 1 and Salem 2 are pressurized water reactors at the Salem Nuclear Power Plant and Hope Creek is a boiling water reactor at the Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station.

Satsop is known for the unfinished Satsop Nuclear Power Plant, a facility designed to house two 1250 megawatt pressurized water reactors.

The US Army Nuclear Power Program operated pressurized water reactors from 1954 to 1974.

Some of Vattenfall's most notable power generation plants include the 110 MW Lillgrund Wind Farm off the coast of Malmö, Sweden, the world's largest offshore wind farm at Thanet, UK, the nuclear reactors Brunsbuttel Nuclear Power Plant ( 67 % ownership ), Krummel Nuclear Power Plant ( 50 % ownership ), Brokdorf Nuclear Power Plant ( 20 % ownership ) in Germany, and the Forsmark Nuclear Power Plant and Ringhals Nuclear Power Plant in Sweden.

Nuclear weapons are fearsome, but the long-range ballistic missile gives them a stealth and merciless swiftness which is much more terrifying.

The Armenian Government is working toward closing the Armenian Nuclear Power Plant as soon as alternative energy sources are identified.

Several awards, concepts, and institutions are named after Fermi, such as the Enrico Fermi Award, the Enrico Fermi Institute, the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, the Enrico Fermi Nuclear Generating Station, a class of particles called fermions, the synthetic element fermium, and many more.

Plans are in the reference Nuclear War Survival Skills by Cresson Kearny.

It recommends safety standards, but member states are not required to comply ; it promotes nuclear energy, but it also monitors nuclear use ; it is the sole global organization overseeing the nuclear energy industry, yet it is also weighed down by checking compliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty ( NPT ).

Signature and ratification of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty ( NPT ) are not preconditions for membership in the IAEA.

Nuclear pre-mRNA introns ( spliceosomal introns ) are characterized by specific intron sequences located at the boundaries between introns and exons.

Nuclear pre-mRNA introns are often much longer than their surrounding exons.

Among the Laboratory's current major active projects are the Mars Science Laboratory mission ( which includes the Curiosity rover ), the Cassini – Huygens mission orbiting Saturn, the Mars Exploration Rovers ( Spirit and Opportunity ), the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the Dawn mission to the dwarf planet Ceres and asteroid Vesta, the Juno spacecraft en route to Jupiter, the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory ( GRAIL ) mission to the Moon, the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array ( NuSTAR ) X-ray telescope, and the Spitzer Space Telescope.

Nuclear claims between the U. S. and the Marshall Islands are ongoing, and health effects from these nuclear tests linger.

Nuclear magnetic moments are important in other contexts, particularly in nuclear magnetic resonance ( NMR ) and magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ).

In December 2011, Fraser was highly critical of the Australian government's decision ( also supported by the Liberal Party Opposition ) to permit the export of uranium to India, relaxing the Fraser government's policy of banning sales of uranium to countries that are not signatories of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Nuclear pores are large protein complexes that cross the nuclear envelope, which is the double membrane surrounding the eukaryotic cell nucleus.

Nuclear reactions are thus driven by the mechanics of bombardment, not by the relatively constant exponential decay and half-life characteristic of spontaneous radioactive processes.

Nuclear fissions in fissile fuels are the result of the nuclear excitation energy produced when a fissile nucleus captures a neutron.

Nuclear fission of heavy elements produces energy because the specific binding energy ( binding energy per mass ) of intermediate-mass nuclei with atomic numbers and atomic masses close to < sup > 62 </ sup > Ni and < sup > 56 </ sup > Fe is greater than the nucleon-specific binding energy of very heavy nuclei, so that energy is released when heavy nuclei are broken apart.

Nuclear weapons are designed to operate under this state.

The former include the Advanced Boiling Water Reactor ( ABWR ), two of which are now operating with others under construction, and the planned passively safe Economic Simplified Boiling Water Reactor ( ESBWR ) and AP1000 units ( see Nuclear Power 2010 Program ).

Nuclear disarmament refers to both the act of reducing or eliminating nuclear weapons and to the end state of a nuclear-free world, in which nuclear weapons are completely eliminated.

Nuclear particles like protons and neutrons are not destroyed in fission and fusion processes, but collections of them have less mass than if they were individually free, and this mass difference is liberated as heat and radiation in nuclear reactions ( the heat and radiation have the missing mass, but it often escapes from the system, where it is not measured ).

Other opened issues are the implementation of the joint management of the Krško Nuclear Power Plant, the financial compensation for the Croatian depositors who lost their savings in the liquidation of the Slovenian-based Yugoslav bank Ljubljanska banka.

Nuclear magnetic resonance ( NMR ) spectroscopy is a widely used resonance method and ultrafast laser methods are also now possible in the infrared and visible spectral regions.

Reactor compartments are sealed at both ends and shipped by barge and multiple-wheel high-capacity trailers to the Department of Energy's Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington state, where they are currently in open dry storage and slated to be eventually buried.
