The latest reports on Nuclear fuel recycling discovered a unique method of curbing the nuclear cleaning costs. The new material is reported to have been found after trying and testing thousands of different options with the help of the computer modeling technique.
iNews reported that the new material has been created by exploring the characteristics of materials known as called as the Metal Organic Frameworks. This material helpful for the nuclear fuel recycling is reported to be discovered by capturing certain gases released during the reprocessing.
Further, the reports suggest that with the help of this new material scientist would be able to collect Xenon and Krypton in an easier way. This, in turn, is expected to make the nuclear power clean and thus, help the smooth functioning of the recycling process.
Besides, it is also expected that with the help of new material, the scientists would be able to recycle the two most commonly used nuclear fuels, Uranium, and Plutonium, in the near future.
With all the news about the potential new material which helps the nuclear fuel recycling process, Yibada reported that the capturing certain gases at very low temperatures is a tedious job for the researchers.
There are reports that such capturing of gases requires cryogenic procedures in which the temperatures are lowered to such an extent that they are transformed into a solid state and the radioactive materials can then be collected.
Moreover, it is reported that the biggest challenge in creating the new material is to regularly test the prototypes. There are reports that to successfully create the new material different Metal Organic Frameworks need to be designed, created, tested, and each of these processes needs to be thoroughly checked for consistency.
Meanwhile, Science Daily reported that the scientists involved in the new material research process have found out Metal Organic Framework for the Xenon radioactive gas called as SBMOF-1. The reports suggested that the SBMOF-1 has the ability to trap the xenon gas at a temperature of 1300 degree Celsius and thus help in the nuclear fuel recycling process.
