An innovative effort to redefine nuclear waste management in the European Union has been launched. The "MaLaR – Novel 2D-3D Materials for Lanthanide Recovery from Nuclear Waste" project will use novel ...

Nuclear waste remains a major environmental hazard due to its long-lasting radioactivity, which can persist for thousands of years. However, new research by University of Sharjah scientists, published ...

A new way to identify salts in nuclear waste melters could help improve clean-up technology, including at the Hanford Site, one of the largest, most complex nuclear waste clean-up sites in the world.

Editor’s note: This article is published after the passing away of Rod Ewing. The draft manuscript was prepared by both authors. It has been lightly edited for style, length, and clarity. Additional ...

Researchers review methods that repurpose nuclear waste to generate hydrogen, aiming to lower storage needs and support cleaner energy production. Hydrogen is currently recognized as a promising clean ...

Sweden has commenced construction of a final storage facility for spent nuclear fuel, where highly radioactive waste will be stored for 100,000 years. Currently, there are thousands of metric tons of ...

A novel process called radiation-enhanced electrolysis could boost hydrogen production by up to tenfold, offering a highly efficient route to convert hazardous nuclear waste into a clean energy source ...
