Nuclear power has long been a reliable energy source, supplying nearly 20% of electricity in the United States. While it does ...

Researchers have developed a prototype battery that harnesses radiation from nuclear waste to generate electricity, offering a potential ...

Nuclear power comes with almost zero greenhouse gas emissions, but has its own issues in the form of radioactive waste.

Nuclear batteries harness energy from radioactive decay, converting it into electricity. These devices are ideal for long-term, maintenance-free power generation in extreme environments. They support ...

Nuclear waste becomes less dangerous over time on its own, because nuclear decay is a spontaneous reaction that will happen of its own accord. Even radioactive elements that decay into other ...

The diamond casing completely absorbs shortwave radiation released through carbon-14 decay, making these batteries ... The source of carbon-14 for batteries originates from nuclear fission reactor ...

the rod begins to decay. That is your first level of containment, so you have to pull the rod. That now becomes ‘spent nuclear fuel’ and enters into the waste stream. You still have 95% to 97% ...

Telix states its automated and high-throughput generator can produce sufficient lead-212 elution for up to 60 clinical doses, ...

And under current technology, when you burn 3% to 5% of the fuel, then at that point, the rod begins to decay. That is your first level of containment, so you have to pull the rod. That now becomes ...

Transport of nuclear materials is key not only to the growth of nuclear power but also the use of radiopharmaceuticals and ...

Bayview Hunters Point faces ongoing exposure from Superfund contamination, community-led biomonitoring is fighting for environmental justice.
