Disposing Nuclear Waste The Safety Way for Fission
A typical 1000-megawatt thermal nuclear reactor produces about 30 tons of spent fuel rods in a year of operation. Add to that other incidental waste materials like clothes, filters, and many other people. These waste can stay dangerous for tens of thousands of years.
The problem of nuclear waste is what to do with it. In truth, one of the biggest expenses of the nuclear energy market is nuclear waste storage and disposal. Presently, there are many approaches in which nuclear waste is handled. Most of these methods are temporary. A viable long-term remedy for waste storage has but to be found.
Chemist developed a procedure that uses supercritical fluids to dissolve toxic metals. A supercritical fluid is any substance raised to a temperature and pressure at which it exhibits properties of both a gas and a liquid. When supercritical, the substance can move directly into a solid like a gas and yet dissolve compounds like a liquid.
Throughout typical operation, nuclear reactor’s typical items which includes filters, rags, paper wipes, and gloves turn into contaminated with uranium. These waste are burned to reduce their volume and improve their uranium content, generating it less difficult to recover the uranium. Nearly 10 percent of the ash’s weight is a usable enriched uranium.
Can be combined carbon dioxide (supercritical fluid) with a purifying method to recover enriched uranium from the ashes of contaminated materials.
This method might turn out to be the basis of the subsequent generation of plants developed to recover valuable materials form spent fuel. The chemist is now working to make the technology even more environmentally friendly and also to recycle different forms of radioactive waste.
His research is focused on a soluble chemical compound to bind with the uranium. Because carbon dioxide can not directly dissolve metals such as uranium, a binding agent referred to as a ligand is introduced to the equation. When the ligand is applied the carbon dioxide that is a supercritical flows through the waste, dissolving each the ligand and the metals bounded to it. Extracting and dissolving any desired metal, possibly even radioactive material from high-level radioactive waste, just demands obtaining a binding agent that works. Wai predicts fluids that are supercritical will be used in the not-too-distant-future to recycle even greater levels of radioactive waste.
Strontium-90, a main waste component, is one of the most dangerous by-item of the fission of uranium and plutonium in nuclear reactors. It is a significant waste component in nuclear reactors. It can also contaminate reactor parts and fluid.
Chemists in the US developed a strategy that can capture and concentrate strontium as a solid material, leaving clean liquid behind. Scientist utilised metal sulfide supplies to get rid of strontium from a sodium-heavy remedy.
Strontium is extremely difficult to capture in vast amounts of liquid nuclear waste. Sodium and calcium ions, which are nonradioactive, are present in such enormous amounts compared to strontium that they can be captured instead of the radioactive material. The material they have designed is created of potassium, manganese, tin and sulfur or KMS-1. This layered metal sulfide attracts strontium but not sodium.

It’s the core of this fake world that experiences a meltdown
Once again…evidently “rumors” deemed harmful to Japanese security, order & morality…..is more important than the TRUTH to save the lives & health of Japanese men, women and children!?!
Damage amplified by irresponsible rumors?
The TRUTH does seem to do that, doesn’t it.
Perhaps it only SEEMS amplified because they have LIES to hide.
Yet truth is always best ~ Let the chips fall where they may!

@MsMilkytheclown Football, nascar, and beer…thats why. Americans will never care until their children show up with defects.
Time to print out any information that may not be available after the internet is cleared of rumors!! Shame on anyone who is covering this up!
no nukes

Thanks for all your hard work! Much appreciated, I have a blog and am familiar with how much goes into creating an information platform for people to go to. No excuses necessary!
This comparison to Chernobyl they makes is still outrageous, only saying 3 reactors. Chernobyl was a new reactor without much plutonium, and it was SMALLER, it was a melt through also, and is still a threat. These 3 reactors in melt through are much larger with much more spent fuel, this is on a massive scale. I added up the number and then stopped adding.. because any comparisons were astronomically different from even the A-bombs & atmospheric testing. This is factually huge, not rumour.
I agree, I love all my informative channels.

No reply necessary, thank you again MsMilky.
Poor japan
politicians that tell the truth are signing their own death warrant… that is why they lie.
Thanx 4 the update : )
Thank you for returning. You were very much missed.
Telling the truth is now inapropriate. and against the law.
@MsMilkytheclown Reality is scary to them, much easier for them to pretend nothing is wrong. Thank you for being a lone voice out there. Peace always.
@MacDaggerson thank you for that. It IS serious. I don’t understand why more people on the planet don’t give a crap about this!
This channel needs more exposure because of the seriousness of the information.
@MsMilkytheclown Welcome back, your reports are much missed. The powers that be are still clamping down on any and all news reporting, Youtube is one of the few places were anyone in the world can get up todate information.
Welcome back and I look forward to seeing your reports! You were missed!
It’s used with extreme caution and care.
But to your point. What we have is a chain of energy conversions, starting with nuclear energy and ending with electrical energy. Briefly the chain looks something like:
NE -> QE -> KE -> EE; where nuclear energy from fission is converted to heat energy, which is then converted into kinetic energy and finally electrical energy by generators.
Nuclear energy comes from the mass deficit e = (M – m)c^2 where M > m is the mass of the nuclear fuel before fission and m is the mass of the resulting particles after fission. There is always less mass after fission than before; that mass deficit is converted into heat.
The heat is captured by a liquid, typically water under great pressure, but sometimes other liquids, like liquid sodium (Na) will be used. The heat is carried through pipes to a vat of water under high pressure where the heat turns that water into superheated steam.
The steam is then funneled into steam driven electrical generators where the heat energy is converted into kinetic energy by turbines. The turbines rotate the generators, which produce the high voltage electricity.
The electricity is distributed by so-called high tension wire networks that distribute the energy to wholesale users. These users, like PG&E or NY Edison, in turn distribute the energy by lower tension wires to power your computer.
