🇺🇸U.S. RESEARCHERS WORK ON SMALLER, CHEAPER ACCELERATORS TO REDUCE NUCLEAR WASTE
Researchers at Argonne and Fermilab have secured $3.2 million in federal funding to build a new kind of particle accelerator that could help turn dangerous nuclear waste into much safer material.
This project uses new materials that work better at extremely cold temperatures, which means they need less expensive equipment to keep them cool.
The team hopes to make these accelerators much smaller and cheaper than today’s giant machines, which could open the door to finally solving the problem of America’s 90,000 metric tons of nuclear waste.
