Nuclear Laser Techniques and the Use of Ion Exchange Resins for Radioactive Waste Removal
Abstract: The energy found in an atom's nucleus, or core, is referred to as nuclear energy. Electricity can be produced using nuclear energy, but it first needs to be released from the atom. A laser that has been nuclear pumped has been charged with energy from fission byproducts. In a nuclear reactor core, the lasing medium is housed in a tube lined with uranium-235 and exposed to strong neutron flux. The …
