Scientists use light-emitting crystals and solar panels to turn the latent energy in nuclear waste into microbatteries.

The Norwegian Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (DSA) has discovered traces of radioactive Cesium-137 near the Russian border in Svanhovd and Viksjøfjell. The level of radioactive isotopes ...

Researchers may have found a way to create a nuclear waste battery that could theoretically run for decades without needing to recharge.

He is the director of Ohio State’s Nuclear Reactor Lab. The team tested the battery prototype with cesium-137 and cobalt-60, common radioactive byproducts of nuclear reactors. Using cesium-137 ...

Nuclear material is relatively safe when used, stored, and managed properly. This generally applies to a broad range of situations, from nuclear medicine to nuclear power generation. Some may ...

Researchers tested its effectiveness using two major fission products from spent nuclear fuel: cesium-137 and cobalt-60. Experiments at Ohio State's nuclear reactor laboratory yielded promising ...

The round silver pellet contains the radioactive isotope Cesium-137, and puts out harmful quantities of both gamma and beta radiation. The pellet was part of a gauge used for measuring the density ...

Nuclear power comes with almost zero greenhouse gas emissions, but has its own issues in the form of radioactive waste.

The U.S. Department of Energy revealed at a March 6 online community meeting that it will not go through with a long-standing ...

The 30-centimeter-long cylinder containing the radioactive material Caesium-137 was discovered missing last Friday from a piece of machinery at a steam power plant in Prachinburi province ...

Once the capsule is opened, more than 250 people end up contaminated by the substance called Cesium 137, being the biggest radiological accident in the history of Brazil.
