The U.S. Department of Energy is betting $40 million that particle accelerators can crack one of nuclear power’s oldest ...

The Hanford Tank Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant was built to turn that nuclear waste into glass; it started ...

Most nuclear energy is thermal. All that complex nuclear physics and chemistry serve merely to create steam that spins a turbine, the same as any combustion-based power plant does. But what if you ...

Nuclear startup Curio, which aims to turn radioactive waste into usable reactor fuel, said Thursday it received validation from several Energy Department national laboratories for its technology. Why ...

Stafford Sheehan’s new startup Project Omega is working with the U.S. government to turn nuclear waste into “unlimited energy." ...

The waste could be used for nuclear fusion, say researchers. Although nuclear fission, which powers nuclear reactors, can provide plenty of energy, it also produces potentially dangerous radioactive ...

Researchers at The Ohio State University have developed a battery that can convert nuclear waste into electricity. This innovative technology utilizes ambient gamma radiation from spent nuclear fuel ...

The Department of Energy on Wednesday signed the paperwork needed to allow radioactive waste to be pumped into the Hanford nuclear site’s vitrification plant 23 years after construction began, said ...

Ohio needs an ethical, 21st-century energy policy that includes wind, solar and other truly clean, emissions-free, renewable ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Radioactive waste held in underground tanks has begun to be transferred for the first time to the massive Hanford nuclear site ...

Nuclear power plants are used primarily to generate electricity, and while they're often thought of as a cleaner energy source, there is a drawback. These power plants produce waste. This waste is ...

In historic step, radioactive waste moved to massive Hanford treatment plant. DOE aims to produce certified glass canisters by Oct 15, 2025, under court order. Plant will glassify low-activity waste ...
