Sustainable Smouldering Technology for Nuclear Graphite Waste Treatment
Sector: Geothermal • Location: United Kingdom
Source: AZoCleantech
A research project investigating the use of applied smouldering combustion as a novel thermal method to efficiently treat nuclear graphite waste by reducing graphite waste bricks to ash, harnessing the energy contained within the graphite to destroy itself. The project aims to develop an energy-efficient alternative to manage the UK's nuclear graphite waste, supporting nuclear reactor decommission
