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
