Atomic Inspection for Nuclear Waste Storage Scientists have announced a new way to assess the safety of storing nuclear waste. Already, the method has shown that the ceramic mineral zircon, a candidate for storing nuclear waste for over 250,000 years, would lose its ordered structure in a far shorter time. |
