Method for net decrease of hazardous radioactive nuclear waste materials

Creators

Description

A method for decreasing the amount of hazardous radioactive reactor waste materials by separation from the waste of materials having longterm risk potential and exposing these materials to a thermal neutron flux. The utilization of thermal neutrons enhances the natural decay rates of the hazardous materials while the separation for recycling of the hazardous materials prevents further transmutation of stable and short-lived nuclides
