Iranian scientist has developed a new safe method for storing nuclear waste

Iranian scientist has developed a new way to store nuclear waste that can safely store this dangerous waste.

According to Tekna technology and technology news service, an Iranian scientist named Mehrnaz Mikhchian is a student. Doctorates at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, in collaboration with Professor Andrew Grosvenor, by studying a composite material made of glass and ceramics, succeeded in devising a safe method for storing nuclear waste in a better structure. The best method that looks very promising is to safely store the waste. The newly made composite has a high resistance to corrosion and it will be possible to build storage tanks larger than the current tanks using this material. In addition, making such a material will be very beneficial in the nuclear energy industry. Regarding this achievement, Mikhchian said that their study team intends to identify and implement the best possible option with the aim of containing nuclear waste.

The article published in this case shows that Mikhchian, a PhD student at the University of Saskatchewan, considers the use of this new material to be one of the important options in containing nuclear waste. Although nuclear energy is much cleaner than fossil fuels, the safe disposal of a large amount of nuclear waste is also a problem in the development of this energy.

The storage of nuclear waste is under the supervision of strict regulations and safety standards, which are designed to ensure the protection of human health and the environment. On the other hand, the storage tanks are also selected in such a way that the type and level of radioactivity are also considered. High-level nuclear waste is usually radioactive and is considered the most dangerous form of nuclear waste. These wastes are stored in special tanks made of metal, glass or concrete.

Of course, some countries have sought to build deep tanks in the ground so that they can permanently store this nuclear waste in the ground. New findings can help build stable structures that are buried deep in the earth.
