Scientists use light-emitting crystals and solar panels to turn the latent energy in nuclear waste into microbatteries.

The Norwegian Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority (DSA) has discovered traces of radioactive Cesium-137 near the Russian ...

The team tested the battery prototype with cesium-137 and cobalt-60, common radioactive byproducts of nuclear reactors. Using ...

Ohio State University researchers develop a battery that converts nuclear waste into electricity using scintillator crystals ...

Nuclear material is relatively safe when used, stored, and managed properly. This generally applies to a broad range of situations, from nuclear medicine to nuclear power generation. Some may ...

Researchers tested its effectiveness using two major fission products from spent nuclear fuel: cesium-137 and cobalt-60. Experiments at Ohio State's nuclear reactor laboratory yielded promising ...

Nuclear power comes with almost zero greenhouse gas emissions, but has its own issues in the form of radioactive waste.

Mapping prepared by a Victorian climate action group shows just how far the impacts of a nuclear disaster could spread, if ...

The round silver pellet contains the radioactive isotope Cesium-137, and puts out harmful quantities of both gamma and beta radiation. The pellet was part of a gauge used for measuring the density ...

The 30-centimeter-long cylinder containing the radioactive material Caesium-137 was discovered missing last Friday from a piece of machinery at a steam power plant in Prachinburi province ...
