A new study suggests that nuclear waste, traditionally viewed as a liability, could be repurposed to generate hydrogen on an industrial scale.

Tungsten alloys, specifically, provide "grain boundaries [that] serve as sinks for radiation defects," per Nature. Meanwhile, constructing neutron moderators from ceramic — which in turn is composed of elements that excel in neutron capture — may help minimize the hazardous waste output that comes with neutron interaction.

One of the highest-risk components of nuclear waste is iodine-129 (I-129), which stays radioactive for millions of years and accumulates in human thyroids when ingested. In the U.S., nuclear waste containing I-129 is scheduled to be disposed of in deep underground repositories,

Harnessing the reaction that powers the stars could offer potentially unlimited carbon-free energy, and the race is hotting up

Akhtar Hussaini Qutbuddin Ahmed and his brother Adil, both under arrest, attempted to sell a purported design purported to a lithium-6 reactor, through VPNs and an encrypted network, NDTV reported citing sources in the probe agency overseeing the case.

When the Mumbai Crime Branch raided his residence, they found fake passports, Aadhaar and PAN cards, a counterfeit BARC identity card, and fourteen maps with supposed nuclear data.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright said Sunday the newly ordered tests wouldn’t involve nuclear explosions — just “system tests” using “noncritical explosions,” he told Fox News. It was the administration’s first explanation since Trump posted on social media last week that he had “instructed the Department of War to start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis.
