Nuclear Transmutation - The possible solution to radioactive waste

Statistics show that every single year nuclear reactors in Europe alone produce around 2500 tons of radioactive waste, and the global amount of high level waste is increasing by 12 thousand metric tons every single year. This requires for an effective and safe method of dealing with these radioactive byproducts, and many believe that nuclear transmutation could be just the right solution. Significantly decreasing the time period an element is considered hazardous and radioactive would mean that storing them for tens of thousands of years is no longer necessary, and the world would need less storage facilities, which subsequently would dispel environmental concerns. In order to find out more about nuclear transmutation and the methods how it can help in dealing with radioactive waste read this book.
