Facilities that work with radioactive materials require practical solutions for storing, transporting, and managing small quantities of isotopes and radioactive waste. In nuclear medicine, ...

Tomsk Polytechnic University has been commissioned by Rosatom's fuel division TVEL to create an innovative X-ray machine designed for non-destructive testing of containers with radioactive waste.

Long-term containment of high-level radioactive waste relies on engineered barriers, most commonly steel vessels clad with copper or alternative corrosion-resistant alloys. Corrosion processes evolve ...

Reliable radiographic methods for characterizing nuclear waste packages non-destructively (without the need to open containers) have the potential to significantly contribute to safe handling and ...

LOS ALAMOS, N.M. (KRQE) — The National Nuclear Security Administration and Los Alamos National Laboratory have finished depressurizing four tritium waste containers that have been in storage since ...

Researchers sent a nuclear waste container on a 14,500-mile odyssey by truck, barge, cargo ship, and train in an effort to understand how well radioactive fuel would stand up to travel. That's ...

Oak Ridge teams are processing decades-old radioactive waste months ahead of schedule to reduce environmental risk.

The world’s nuclear power plants have produced an estimated 448,000 tonnes (494,000 U.S. tons) ...

The first container has been filled with long-lived low- and intermediate-level waste from the used fuel pools of unit 3 at Belgium's Doel nuclear power plant, which was shut down in September 2022 ...
