WASHINGTON -- Government scientists raised questions in recent weeks about Department of Energy experiments on how long it will take canisters containing highly radioactive nuclear waste to corrode ...

Laboratory experiments and observation of pit growth rates in six operating fields have yielded a model to predict internal pitting corrosion of oil and gas pipelines. Nov. 26, 2007 15 min read ...

Practical fusion energy is not just a dream at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Experts in fusion and material science are working together to develop solutions that will make ...

All steel pipes rust and eventually fail. So, to preempt disasters, oil companies and others use computer models to predict when replacements are needed. But if the models go wrong, they can be ...

Certain molecules of iron, when juxtaposed, have been found by researchers to cause microscopic holes in steel pipe used for oil transport. This hidden, localized corrosion causes oil pipes to rust ...

High temperatures and materials make cheap fusion energy more difficult to produce. Engineers and scientists in U.S. labs have long been working on making fusion a practical and economic fusion ...
