Abstract
We have developed a Process to treat radioactive matter so it is unable to further undergo radioactive decay. The significance of this to the nuclear power and defense industries is that said treatment is less cost than long-term storage. It is important to note that a non-radioactive benign waste stream results because radioactive daughters normally conceived by natural decay are eliminated because radioactive prodigies are aborted in the Process. Permanent results that other treatments cannot provide. This process can be mobilized to treat nuclear material where it is currently stored or produced. This eliminates the threat associated with transporting radioactive material that could be used by terrorist groups and the risk of catastrophic accidents while in route to repositories. In today’s volatile world, national security is important to consider. Apart from its benefit to the power industry and the environment, The Process can be mobilized by defense departments to treat nuclear stockpiles of rogue nations as well. This eliminates dangers brought by nations that would covertly convert nuclear material to ‘dirty’ weapons once, and for all. Treating nuclear waste so its inherit danger - its radioactivity is eliminated a pragmatic and prudent policy to implement. On the 5oth anniversary of nuclear energy, what better celebration can be provided than a viable solution for its waste dilemma? What better comfort can be given the people of the world being held hostage by maniacal dictatorships who threaten to convert their fugitive nuclear stockpiles to bring harm’s way? Why store nuclear waste when it can be made benign cheaper? Why even gamble with the risk now that a viable solution is available? The solution we will present.
