Stafford Sheehan’s new startup Project Omega is working with the U.S. government to turn nuclear waste into “unlimited energy." ...

Nuclear waste has become a kind of cultural shorthand for everything people fear about atomic power, from glowing green sludge to warnings that we are burdening distant descendants with our mistakes.

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A truck delivers a container to the low-level waste vaults at the Dounreay nuclear site in Dounreay, Scotland, Britain November 25 ...

Most nuclear energy is thermal. All that complex nuclear physics and chemistry serve merely to create steam that spins a turbine, the same as any combustion-based power plant does. But what if you ...

The Hanford Tank Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant was built to turn that nuclear waste into glass; it started operating in October 2025. The history of the Hanford Site and the way the stored ...

Nuclear waste remains a major environmental hazard due to its long-lasting radioactivity, which can persist for thousands of years. However, new research by University of Sharjah scientists, published ...

Nuclear energy is one of the most polarizing topics when it comes to ways of generating electricity. On one hand, there are those who believe nuclear is a much better alternative to fossil fuels and ...

Researchers review methods that repurpose nuclear waste to generate hydrogen, aiming to lower storage needs and support cleaner energy production. Hydrogen is currently recognized as a promising clean ...

U.S. scientists are developing an innovation that could reduce nuclear waste storage time by 99.7%, transmuting long-lived radioactive materials into shorter-lived isotopes.

Nuclear energy is hot and everyone wants a piece of the action. President Donald Trump has announced his vision to quadruple America’s nuclear capacity by 2050, and 33 countries signed a declaration ...

Nuclear power plants are used primarily to generate electricity, and while they're often thought of as a cleaner energy source, there is a drawback. These power plants produce waste. This waste is ...
