Nuclear waste may provide new source of fuel for future fusion power
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Aug 20, 2025 From electric vehicles to artificial intelligence data centers, modern technology demands ever-increasing amounts of electricity. Nuclear fusion could potentially deliver vast supplies of low-emission energy, but its progress is constrained by the scarcity and high cost of tritium, a critical fuel component. Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) are exploring whether nuclear waste
In the United States, scientists are working on a process that could convert highly radioactive nuclear waste into valuable fuel for future fusion reactors. The focus is on the hydrogen isotope tritium, which occurs only in tiny amounts in nature and has so far been produced almost exclusively as a byproduct in special nuclear reactors. Since the amount of tritium available worldwide is limited to only a few […] Source
