Toward a 21st-Century Model of Nuclear Innovation
One of the artifacts from the shipโa bronze cannonโhas caught the attention of the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) and Finlandโs nuclear-waste-management company Posiva Oy. These companies are working to build what will likely become, in the early 2020s, the worldโs first two working, deep-underground repositories for spent nuclear fuel. As part of planning the repositories, SKB experts studied how the cannon fared in a harsh seawater environment over the centuries.
Experts say that the social and psychological aftermath of a nuclear accident was too often overlooked
IMAGINE YOUโRE AN evil genius in the style of a James Bond villain. Youโve got a hundred million dollars or so burning a hole in your pocket, and youโre looking to cause some destruction. You want to know your options.
"We're not in a clean energy revolution; we're in a clean energy crisis," says climate policy expert Michael Shellenberger. His surprising solution: nuclear. In this passionate talk, he explains why it's time to overcome longstanding fears of the technology, and why he and other environmentalists believe it's past time to embrace nuclear as a viable and desirable source of clean power.
The scientists learned to use the soil moisture neutron probe technique to measure and determine moisture levels in their soil at Kassala Research Farm, to quantify the amount of water needed by the crops, and to use the nitrogen-15 isotopic technique (15N) to optimize nitrogen ย fertilizer applications (see The Science box). These scientific studies then formed the basis for how much water and fertilizer to deliver through the watering system known as drip irrigation.
It's more than five years since the earthquake and tsunami off the coast of Japan caused a huge leak of radioactive material into the world's oceans.
However, a new report by Australian scientists has revealed that radiation in the Pacific Ocean is rapidly returning to normal and should be at its previous level by 2020. So what does this say about radiation and us?
A UN report in 2014 said the most important health effect was on mental and social well-being, from the enormous impact of the accident and the fear and stigma related to radiation and uncertainty about ever going home.
