Nuclear Reactors 706 - Antineutrinos Can Be Used To Monitor Operating Nuclear Reactors - Part 1 of 2 Parts

Part 1 of 2 Parts
        One major problem with monitoring the processes inside a nuclear reactor lies in the fact that there is a great deal of dangerous radiation released during operation of the reactor. Now a group of researchers have found a way to use antineutrinos to continuously monitor nuclear fission processes from outside of the reactor.

Peninsula Energy Has Been Authorized By Wyoming To Use Acidic Solutions For In Situ Mining Of Uranium At The Lance Mine

        In situ leaching is a mining technique for extracting minerals such as copper and uranium. Holes are drilled into the ore deposit and leaching fluid is pumped into the holes. The solution carrying the dissolved ore is then pumped back to the surface and processed. In uranium in situ mining, an acidic solution such as sulfuric acid or an alkaline solution such as sodium bicarbonate is used.
