Radioactive Waste 200 - U.K. Cabot Institute Creates Nuclear Battery With Artificial Diamonds
As I have said many times on this blog, nuclear waste is a terrible problem. There are millions of tons of nuclear waste around the globe. It will either have to be buried in the geological repositories under construction or recycled into new nuclear fuel. There are schemes to build special nuclear reactors that can directly burn nuclear waste.

Nuclear Reactors 431 - Leaving The European Union Will Have A Major Impact On The U.K. Nuclear Program
I have blogged about the U.K. nuclear program in the past. The most recent such blogs have mostly been about the big Hinkley Point C project. The European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) was created by a treaty signed in 1957. It forms the basis for regulation of the peaceful use of nuclear energy in the European Union. A major current question confronting the U.K.
