A strip of track in the Swiss Jura carries 48 solar panels laid flat between the rails and thousands of trains have run over them, but the array covers only 330 feet of a national network
17+ hour, 28+ min ago (812+ words) A single track railway in the western Swiss mountains, pasture on both sides, a station a short walk away. Between the rails, where there is normally gravel and nothing else, a run of dark blue panels lies flat. They sit…...
At 97 percent power a standby service water pump tripped the instant its own diesel generator started at a Mississippi reactor, where that single trip left the emergency core spray system inoperable
21+ hour, 28+ min ago (742+ words) A plant room under fluorescent light, concrete floor, a pump the size of a small car sitting on a pad. It has not run in weeks. That is the point of it. On a winter evening a crew starts a…...
Panels stretch across 110 feet of open canal in California's Central Valley and the water beneath runs cooler, but the evaporation number that would justify a solar canal statewide has not been published
3+ day, 17+ hour ago (780+ words) A canal runs through farmland east of the valley floor, carrying water to almond groves and tomato fields. For most of its length it lies open to the sky. Over two short stretches it does not. Steel trusses cross the…...
NRC dockets Raven-Flint Nuclear Corp. license application for uranium conversion pilot plant
3+ day, 22+ hour ago (521+ words) The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has formally docketed a license application from Raven-Flint Nuclear Corp. for a uranium conversion pilot plant. It’s a significant regulatory milestone for the startup, which was previously selected by the Department of Energy for its Nuclear…...
A solar cell bent 5,000 times around a curve tighter than a thumb kept 91 percent of what it started with, while the flexible tandem inside it reached 33.6 percent certified efficiency on a silicon layer thin enough to roll
4+ day, 19+ hour ago (829+ words) The jig takes both ends of the strip, folds it toward itself, holds it, and lets go. Then it does it again. It ran that way for days, and the film in the clamps looks like nothing at all. Not…...
Nearly 10 million pounds of drilling rig left a frozen gravel road 6 miles from an Alaska village and went over onto the tundra, but only 2 of the 8 people hurt that afternoon were working on the machine
4+ day, 21+ hour ago (818+ words) Something that heavy does not tip. It leans, then it settles, then it keeps settling for days afterward while everybody stands back and watches it. That is the part of this story worth understanding. The machine came off a road…...
KBR lands the front-end engineering job for a 250 MW Nebraska project designed to turn renewable hydrogen into e-methane
6+ day, 16+ hour ago (353+ words) The company is also a beneficiary of the direction that the energy industry is headed, considering the willingness of companies to include high-level technology and science in the projects that they pursue. As such, KBR is proud to be working…...
Villagers in Saint Joachim voted 97 percent in favor of a solar canopy over their flooded cemetery, and the 5,000 panels on top were an afterthought to a drainage problem
1+ week, 4+ day ago (809+ words) The problem at this cemetery had nothing to do with the dead. Every winter the water table came up through the peat and stood in the plots. Families arriving to tend a grave found the ground soft and the paths…...
Riggers in Somerset threaded a 551 ton reactor vessel through a hatch barely taller than the vessel itself, and it settled onto its support ring with 1.6 inches of clearance on either side
1+ week, 5+ day ago (835+ words) The opening in the concrete is a rectangle about 64 feet tall. The object going through it is 42 feet of forged steel weighing 551 tons. Neither of those numbers is the interesting one. The interesting number is what was left over at…...
A 105 MW solar farm on 500 acres of Kern County scrub feeds a pump station that draws 787 MW to push water over the Tehachapi Mountains, and the water agencies are already paying more for it
2+ week, 1+ hour ago (811+ words) Water does not want to go uphill. Everything else in a canal system is a matter of grading and patience, but a mountain range is a bill that has to be paid in electricity, every acre foot, every time. One…...
