Summary

Experts from the Technical University of Munich and TÜV have revealed that radioactive waste from nuclear power plants can be converted into significantly less harmful substances. This finding addresses the ongoing challenge of nuclear waste disposal, indicating that such transformation is both technically feasible and economically viable.

Byproducts of the transmutation process include noble gases such as xenon and krypton, as well as isotopes like cesium and strontium, which have applications in medicine and research. Moreover, the heat generated during the process could be utilized for district heating systems.
