Article Synopsis
- The nuclear power industry has struggled with the disposal of about 10,000 metric tons of high-level nuclear waste produced annually since 1958, primarily consisting of radionuclides like uranium and plutonium.
- A promising method being explored for safe long-term storage is incorporating nuclear waste into refractory oxide minerals, which show lower leaching rates than traditional glass-based vitrification techniques.
- The pyrochlore supergroup of minerals is highlighted as particularly effective due to its ability to contain various radionuclides while maintaining high durability against leaching, making it a strong candidate for radionuclide disposal.
