Scientists at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, have developed a groundbreaking method to reuse nuclear waste, a discovery that could potentially revolutionize the nuclear industry.

Take a deep breath. A flow of air has rushed into your lungs, where the oxygen moves into your bloodstream, fueling metabolic fires in cells throughout your body. You, being an aerobic organism, use oxygen as the cellular spark that frees molecular energy from the food you eat. But not all organisms on the planet live or breathe this way. Instead of using oxygen to harvest energy, many single-celled life-forms that live in environments far from oxygen’s reach, such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents or stygian crevices in the soil, wield other elements to respire and unlock energy.

UNLV researchers are on the cutting edge of techniques that can reduce the amount of waste left over from the process of creating nuclear fuel and weapons by rendering those toxic waste products both safe and useful.
