When I first began studying nuclear engineering nearly 40 years ago, I was fascinated by the fact that nuclear reactions can transmute one element to another. As years passed and the nuclear ...

I was the chairman of the committee that recommended to the DOE that the Accelerator Driven Systems (ADS) approach to dealing with the long-lived component of spent nuclear fuel be terminated. It was, ...

The previous chapter focuses on the chemical technologies for separating radionuclides in spent fuel and defense high-level radioactive waste (HLW). This chapter considers proposals for attaining the ...

One of the current important issues of nuclear power is the long lived waste toxicity problem. A possible way to contribute towards solving this issue is given by the utilization and transmutation of ...

The April 13 issue of C&EN contained a letter from Paul Cahill ("New Mission for Weapons Labs," page 3) and an important statement from Rep. Bart Gordon (D-Tenn.), that the term "climate change" is ...

A first-of-a-kind reactor system has been set up in Belgium by coupling a subcritical assembly with a particle accelerator. The work is a major step in a program to research advanced waste management.

Belgian nuclear scientists have been given the go-ahead to build an advanced new research reactor system with a role in researching the transmutation of wastes. Belgian nuclear scientists have been ...

Nuclear Transmutation Technology Group, develops elemental technology of high-power accelerators and high-power targets, aiming at future applications to nuclear transmutations of long-lived fission ...

The disposal of high-level radioactive wastes from nuclear power plants is one of the most important issues at both national and international levels. As a fundamental solution to the problem, the ...

What is the high-frequency electric field inside the cavity? An electric field where the sign is reversed at constant intervals What is a superconducting cavity? A cavity refers to a space that ...
