The study presents a novel technique to quantify nuclear transmutation accurately, aiming to enhance the stability of radioactive waste and improve nuclear waste treatment facilities. Inspired by ...

The research team from Shanghai Jiao Tong University have made significant progress in transuranic isotope production. The team has proposed a method for neutron spectrum regulation with high spectral ...

The library of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials keeps growing, from basic 2D materials to metal chalcogenides. Unlike their bulk counterparts, 2D layered materials possess novel features that ...

Neutron activation techniques have emerged as a pivotal tool in the production of medical radioisotopes and the enhancement of imaging technologies. By exposing target materials to neutrons, it is ...

Nuclear power is considered one of the ways to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, but how to deal with nuclear waste products is a concern. Radioactive waste products can be turned into more stable ...

#10 The selective transmutation conundrum — Again, the very nature of requirements postulated by Widom-Larson theory that would allow for the presumed cocktail of energies, and events that would lead ...

WASHINGTON, April 17 -- (Editor's note: This is the third article in a four-part series from United Press International examining some of the scientific issues related to using Nevada's Yucca Mountain ...
