This was not a problem until 1968, when the lake started drying up, causing radioactive dust from the 11-feet deep bed to be blown to nearby areas, irradiating half a million people. It was ...

From 1975: More than 4,000 gallons of radioactive waste leaked from a Hanford storage tank – the 19th such leak to occur. The waste “seeped through the bottom or sides of the steel-lined ...

A Scottish research team is gearing up to carry out the latest study on what impact authorised radioactive discharges from Dounreay have on local habits and consumption patterns. It is to include a ...

“Additionally, we are developing new detectors to image radioactive drugs with higher spatial resolution.” The findings are reported in Applied Physics Letters.

As New York looks to its future, it must grapple with a dramatically rising cost of living, critical resilience needs for the escalating threat of climate change, crippling congestion in last mile ...

Dental experts warn that the simultaneous erosion of Medicaid and fluoridation could exacerbate a crisis of rural oral health and reverse decades of progress against tooth decay, particularly for ...

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency said that it has begun developing a small nuclear battery that converts the decay heat of americium — a radioactive waste — into electricity for use as a power ...

The joint workshop on "Handling Nuclear and Other Radioactive Materials With Indian Security Agencies" is being conducted from March 25 to March 29, 2025, at Amity. (Handout) The workshop ...

When some material undergoes radioactive decay, the charged particles it releases travel through the air and ionise it, i.e. separate its positive and negative charges and create a state of matter ...

WHEN you think of radioactive material, one would immediately associate it with a green glow. Take the opening sequence of The Simpsons animated series, for example, where the Homer Simpson ...

Those are just for pre-storage (cooling) before the long term storage which will need to be 10,000 to 1 million years before all radioactive materials decay to levels that pose negligible risk to ...
