Nuclear Reactors 723 - Moltex Energy Turns To Crowdfunding For Its Molten Salt Reactor - Part 1 of 3 Parts
Part 1 of 3 Parts
There are many problems with nuclear power but one of the biggest is the cost of licensing and construction a nuclear power reactor. The cost of nuclear construction is steadily rising while the cost of renewables and natural gas. Now a group in the U.K. is trying to pioneer a new method of funding a molten salt reactor.

Radioactive Waste 420 - Scientists At The Helmholtz Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf Discover A New Stable Form Of Plutonium
All fifteen previously known forms of the element plutonium are radioactive. This means that they are unstable and decay into lighter elements. Now an international team led by the Helmholtz Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) has discovered a new compound of plutonium with a surprising pentavalent oxidation state. They made this discovery on the European Synchrotron in Grenoble, France (ESRF).
