Nuclear Waste Clearing Material Discovered in Switzerland

摘要

Finally, scientists in Switzerland discovered a way to effectively clear out nuclear plants' radioactive wastes. A group of scientists from Polytechnique de Lausanne together with their American colleagues reported the discovery of a material abbreviated as SBMOF-1, a nanoporous crystal belonging to the group of materials used in cleaning out CO2 and dangerous pollutant emissions. As global warming is becoming a bigger problem worldwide, and alternative to carbon-based fossil fuels with a much cheaper maintenance value will be a great leap. Yet, nuclear energy which is known to be the cheapest alternative to carbon poses a dangerous and expensive waste gas generation, EScience, reported.
