nuclear waste remediation

Indiana University scientists report new, highly accurate method to predict effectiveness of molecules that extract toxic elements from the environment

Recent research shows that plutonium doesn’t exactly work the way scientists thought it did

Safely decommissioning the legacy of radioactively contaminated facilities from nuclear energy and weapons production is one of the greatest challenges of the 21^st Century

Rutgers professor Ashutosh Goel invents way to contain radioactive iodine

First evidence for new molecular structure could open doors to chemical solutions for environmental problems

Determining who is responsible for cleaning up the waste could also lead to political disputes not considered before

Calcium and phosphate work together chemically to immobilize uranium

Techniques could be economically attractive, ideally leading to a reevaluation of how nuclear waste is processed

A microbe developed to clean up nuclear waste and patented by a Michigan State University researcher has just been improved.

A new type of nanoscale molecular trap makes it possible for industry to store large amounts of hydrogen in small fuel cells or capture, compact and remove volatile radioactive gas from spent nuclear fuel in an affordable, easily commercialized way.
