News Open menu 01 February 2024 New network to build the first realistic thermomagnetic generator for waste heat recovery TU Delft leads HEAT4ENERGY, a European consortium, dedicated to develop thermomagnetic devices and novel materials to harvest heat from data centres, food, pulp and paper industries and convert this waste heat to electricity. This project ticks all the boxes: energy transition, decarbonising, low and high power devices for conversion of waste heat to electricity, energy storage, finding alternatives for critical raw materials, developing new materials and most important of all: training of a next generation of European experts.

What cannot be seen from the outside: the inside has now also received a unique covering: the nuclide chart. Read more 09 November 2023 Is Safety Culture a Matter for the Workplace, Not Science?

Read more 10 July 2023 TU Delft Reactor Institute is happy to announce: proposal Material Independence & Circular Batteries accepted by Growth Fund Battery technology plays a crucial role in the energy transition as a storage system for green energy. For stabilising the electricity grid and for electrification of the mobility sector. The Material Independence & Circular Batteries proposal focuses on realising a strong position for the Dutch manufacturing industry in the global battery chain focusing on critical materials independence, sustainability and circularity Read more 07 July 2023 60 years research and education with the Delft University of Technology reactor In the glossy '60 years Reactor Institute', we interviewed the last three directors who look back on their time at the institute. But we also look forward. Read more 07 July 2023 From table salt to nuclear energy Nick ter Veer, a PhD student at the Delft University of Technology, has recently synthesized a promising thorium chloride salt, that can be used to fuel a new generation of nuclear reactors. Thorium has great potential, in combination with an uranium or plutonium based fuel, for a more sustainable nuclear fuel cycle, thereby producing less long lived radioactive waste. Together with the Reactor Physics & Nuclear Materials research team, he is now looking at this salt’s properties, to assess its suitability for use in the so-called Molten Salt Reactors.
