Nuclear Fusion 51 - MIT Students Are Working On ARC Reactor Designs - Part 2 of 2 Parts
Part 2 of 2 Parts (Please read Part 1 first)
At MIT, a class was challenged with the task of finding a way to get rid of excess heat in reactors built to the new designs. Engineers from Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories and Commonwealth Fusion Systems worked with fourteen MIT students and Dennis Whyte, the director of MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center who taught the class.

Radioactive Waste 353 - Researchers Are Studying The Deterioration Of Glass Logs Used To Store Radioactive Waste
Vitrification of nuclear waste is a process where nuclear waste is mixed with sand and other chemicals and then baked to melt all the ingredients into glass logs. Those logs are then placed in a geological repository for long term storage. Some countries are using this technique for the disposal of wastes created by the production of nuclear weapons.
