90% radioactive iodine gone: Scientists use AI to crack code on nuclear waste cleanup
SMRTR summary
Scientists in South Korea used AI to discover a new material that can remove over 90% of radioactive iodine from contaminated water. The multi-metal compound, part of the Layered Double Hydroxides class, outperforms traditional absorbents in trapping the dangerous nuclear waste byproduct. This breakthrough could accelerate nuclear environmental cleanup efforts and reduce risks from long-lasting radioactive iodine.
