MACHANG, Oct 25 (Bernama) — Nuclear technology has applications far beyond power generation and weaponry; it is also harnessed in medicine and agriculture. However, Malaysian Nuclear Agency Director-General Dr Muhammad Rawi Mohamed Zin says the public remains largely unaware of how this technology features in daily life, as much of its application takes place behind the scenes. In medicine, radioisotopes help detect health problems, including cancer, while nuclear expertise also underpins technical work such as X-ray machine calibration, he notes. “When people go to a hospital, they see the doctor and the X-ray technician, but they don’t see the expertise […]

Pakistan needs stronger federal-provincial coordination to turn peaceful nuclear technology into practical development outcomes.

CYBERJAYA, Aug 22 (Bernama) — The Malaysian Nuclear Agency has developed several potential new cassava varieties through the application of nuclear technology that can be harvested within six months, nearly half the 11 to 12 months required for local varieties. Its Agrotechnology and Biosciences Division research officer Norazlina Noordin said the new varieties, developed through research that began in 2021, recorded higher yields compared with control planting materials and are expected to have commercialisation potential within at least the next two years. She said the five- to six-year research project began with the aim of developing new cassava varieties with […]

A critical review of Pakistan’s nuclear journey, PAEC’s unsung heroes, strategic restraint, command and control, and nuclear policy.

The article highlights the progress of multiple fusion energy startups working to develop commercial nuclear reactors. Tokamak Energy, based in Oxfordshire, U.K., is leveraging high-temperature superconducting magnets (REBCO) for a compact tokamak design that achieved a plasma temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius in 2022. Its Demo 4 reactor aims to test magnet performance in power plant scenarios, backed by $284 million in funding. Focused Energy, derived from the National Ignition Facility (NIF), is focusing on laser-driven fuel target manufacturing for mass production. Marvel Fusion employs silicon-based nanostructures for inertial confinement fusion, planning a 2027 demonstration facility. Type One Energy plans to build a 350 MW reactor at a retired coal plant, selling technology to utilities like TVA. Kyoto Fusioneering is addressing the 'balance of plant' components needed for fusion power plants, securing $121 million in grants. First Light Fusion uses inertial confinement without magnets, offering technologies for other companies. Thea Energy’s pixel-inspired magnetic design aims to reduce stellarator costs. These startups collectively raise over $600 million, signaling optimism about achieving net-positive fusion energy within the next decade.
