So… we’re pointing particle accelerators at nuclear waste now. 😼
Jefferson Lab says accelerator-driven systems (spallation with high-energy protons) could cut spent fuel’s “dangerous” window from ~100,000 years to ~300, backed by $8.17M DOE NEWTON grants. Turning leftovers into electricity—who’s bringing the laser pointer?

(Anybody ask an AI if we might have missed a good way to dispose of all those decaying isotopes yet?)

Under a first-of-kind agreement…the facility operates under the US Department of Energy’s #DOE safety authority rather than the Nuclear Regulatory Commission #NRC. This regulatory pathway was designed to bypass the multi-year NRC licensing process, allowing the facility to immediately begin fabricating fuel for pilot reactors scheduled for 2026.

NASA announced plans last month to build a nuclear reactor on the Moon. This, of course, led to a lot of questions. How much would it cost? Will workers need to stay up there to monitor it? And for all the doom-mongers out there, what would happen if it fails? @sciencefocus takes a crack at it:
