NextEra Energy and Google will restart Iowa’s 615-megawatt Duane Arnold Energy Center by early 2029 under a 25-year agreement that commits the tech giant to buy the plant’s output. The plant is Iowa’s lone nuclear facility and closed in 2020 after 45 years of operation. The restart places a large baseload unit back on the […] The post Uranium Momentum Builds On NextEra-Google Plan To Restart Iowa Nuclear Facility appeared first on the deep dive.| the deep dive

Transmutation is the conversion of nuclides through nuclear reactions. If transmutation were successful on a large-scale, this process could be used to convert long-lived and highly active nuclides. This could potentially reduce the space required for a deep geological repository for high-level radioactive waste and reduce the longevity of radioactive waste overall. On Tuesday, 18 […]| acatech - National Academy of Science and Engineering
