Radioactive Waste 820 - University of Manchester Researchers Use Molten Salt To Decontaminate Graphite
Graphite is used to maintain the fission chain reactions in some types of widely used nuclear reactors. It is estimated that there are about three hundred thousand tons of nuclear graphite waste awaiting disposal around the globe. Because they have a high density of legacy reactors, about one third of the irradiated graphite waste in the world is in the U.K.
