COPENHAGEN, DENMARK FLSmidth has signed a contract for the supply of pyroprocessing and comminution equipment for Tianqi Lithium Australia`s lithium hydroxide processing plant, which will be located ...
Researchers at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) conduct pyroprocessing research. Photo provided by KAERI. The fate of 'pyroprocessing,' a technology for recycling spent nuclear fuel ...
The US aims to add 300 gigawatts (GW) of nuclear capacity by 2050 and ...
The importance of recycling the spent nuclear fuel through partitioning processes has been recognized worldwide for increasing and sustaining nuclear energy. Therefore, the development of advanced ...
In the 1980s and 1990s, Japan evaluated two options for a new fleet of nuclear reactors. One option relied on plutonium-uranium mixed oxide (MOX) fuel. The other would rely on Argonne's Integral Fast ...
A recommendation has been issued to continue research and development (R&D) on pyroprocessing, a spent nuclear fuel recycling technology jointly developed by South Korea and the United States since ...
Pyroprocessing is a way to change a solid material physically or chemically using high temperature. It is a dry process and very energy-intensive. The three sectors that use it most are cement-making, ...
Nuclear power is currently the cheapest form of producing clean electricity, however it is inefficient and leaves waste products that are potentially very dangerous and a pain to dispose of. Current ...
South Korea, like the United States, has long relied on nuclear power as a major source of electric power. As a result, it has amassed large stores of spent nuclear fuel and, as in the United States, ...
Such an increase would be even higher if it were not for the country’s 20 nuclear reactors, which generated a little more than one-third of the country’s total electricity in 2008. According to that ...
Though the recent revision to an atomic energy pact with the U.S. allows South Korea’s study of pyroprocessing, the nascent technology will likely increase electricity costs while failing to reduce ...
