New Particle Accelerators Turn Nuclear Waste Into Electricity, Cut Radioactive Life by 99.7%

via interestingengineering.com·yesterday·Community Voted

A breakthrough in particle accelerator technology could transform the nuclear energy landscape by converting long-lived radioactive waste into electricity while reducing its radioactive lifespan by 99.7%. The technology uses accelerator-driven systems to transmute dangerous waste isotopes into shorter-lived or stable elements, potentially solving one of nuclear power's most persistent challenges and opening the door to wider adoption of clean energy.
