The nation’s first national laboratory, Argonne conducts leading-edge basic and applied scientific research in virtually every scientific discipline. Argonne researchers work closely with researchers from hundreds of companies, universities, and federal, state and municipal agencies to help them solve their specific problems, advance America’s scientific leadership and prepare the nation for a better future. With employees from more than 60 nations, Argonne is managed by UChicago Argonne, LLC for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States and is working to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time. For more information, visit the Office of Science website.
Great lecture.
A question: "Could it be possible to recycle nuclear fuel more than twice?"
"If not, why is that the case?"
I think the hiccup is the TYPE of reprocessIng employed must change
In fast neutron reactors, developed by Argonne, fuel can be recycled many times. This would allow us to use 100% of the energy in the uranium we dig out of the ground, instead of 1% as we do today. This also reduces the radiotoxicity period of used nuclear fuel from 300,000 years to only 300.
