The US team takes on rogue elements that are damaging modern nuclear reactors

Advanced nuclear power holds a clear promise: 24/7 low-carbon electricity with far better fuel efficiency than conventional plants. But the next generation of reactors faces a nuclear-scale obstacle. When uranium atoms split to produce energy, they leave behind problematic chemical byproducts that damage equipment and thwart recycling efforts. A research team led by Pennsylvania State … Read more
