Particle Accelerators Could Cut Nuclear Waste Lifespan to Centuries

Original: Radioactive Waste from Nuclear Energy Lasts for 100,000 Years but Particle Accelerators Could Slash That Timeline to a Few Centuries

Nuclear energy's radioactive waste currently remains hazardous for around 100,000 years, posing a long-term storage challenge for countries with nuclear programmes. Reports highlight that particle accelerators could dramatically reduce that timeline to just a few centuries, potentially transforming how radioactive waste is managed and stored worldwide.

Why now: Ongoing debate over nuclear energy's role in clean energy keeps radioactive waste storage solutions in the spotlight
