    A report from the UK's Public Accounts Committee claims that clean-up costs at the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing field have risen by £2.5bn in the last year. Julian Turner analyses the complex decommissioning process and asks why the mammoth project continues to be beset by delays.

  • a pound of highly enriched uranium as used to power a nuclear submarine or nuclear aircraft carrier is equal to something on the order of a million gallons of gasoline. When you consider that a pound of uranium is smaller than a baseball, and a million gallons of gasoline would fill a cube 50 feet per side (50 feet is as tall as a five-story building), you can get an idea of the amount of energy available in just a little bit of U-235.
  • Three-percent enrichment is sufficient for use in a civilian nuclear reactor used for power generation. Weapons-grade uranium is composed of 90-percent or more U-235.

    The EU-funded Sinfonia smart cities project aims to retrofit more than 100,000m2 of living space in two pioneer districts, optimising technologies for electricity grids and district heating and cooling. At the project's heart is collaboration - the sharing of processes to increase energy savings and develop a coherent framework to expand the use of renewables.

    Scientists working on an international collaboration to mimic the process of photosynthesis have reached a significant milestone in the quest to develop an efficient and abundant alternative fuel. The results could bring us one step closer to matching plants in their ability to exploit the Sun's energy
