Scientists achieve 10 times hydrogen output from nuclear waste using new method
SMRTR summary
Scientists at the University of Sharjah discovered that radiation-enhanced electrolysis can boost hydrogen production from nuclear waste by up to 10 times, potentially transforming over 4 million cubic meters of stored radioactive waste into clean energy. The process splits water molecules using radioactivity without carbon emissions, offering techniques like uranium-based catalysis and methane reforming. However, strict regulations on handling radioactive materials remain the biggest obstacle to implementation.
