These Diamond Batteries Could Last More Than 5,000 Years
A team of scientists from the University of Bristol proposes a revolutionary response. They have found a way to turn this waste into clean batteries which also last for thousands of years. The Magnox reactors of these plants use graphite to keep under control the nuclear fission. The process converts the material into a radioactive isotope, carbon-14. Britain has more than 100,000 tons of radioactive carbon does not know how to recycle....
