In this section, we look at how recent advances in the New Energy science of Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENRs, also often called 'cold fusion') promise to help us clean up the world's radioactive waste by transmuting dangerous radioactive isotopes into safer elements.

3. Let’s look now at another kind of
waste treatment that ZPE enables:
Disposal of nuclear waste

4. When we think of nuclear waste, we
might initially think of the famous
nuclear accidents
• Chernobyl (1986)
• Fukushima (2011)

5. But every day, around the world, more
than 430 nuclear reactors are at work,

6. And around 70 more are under
construction

7. These nuclear power plants usually
have difficulty finding a place to store
their spent fuel rods

8. Which are full of
uranium and/or
plutonium, and
very dangerous

9. As a result, the most common solution is
just to store the dangerous rods on site

10. This usually works OK… until there is
an accident

11. While accidents happen very rarely,
the problem of nuclear waste is
extremely serious

12. We know from chemistry that the
radioactive elements in the spent fuel
rods will continue to be dangerous for
more than 10,000 years… in some
cases, up to 250,000 years

13. While the risk of having an accident
within any given span of 10 years or
even 100 years is fairly small, how can
we possibly predict what will happen
over the next 10,000 years?

14. The risk of an accident over a time
span that long is actually quite large.
You might say, having many accidents
over that time span is a certainty.

15. But now, ZPE gives us a good solution.
Remember how LENRs and plasmoid
strikes were found to cause
transmutation of elements?

16. Well now, scientists in Japan have
discovered that this process works well
on radioactive elements to transmute
them from dangerous isotopes to
isotopes that are less dangerous, even
harmless

19. Mitsubishi already has a patent on one
such technology

20. This is a technology that is currently
being tested at Fukushima

21. But even more importantly, it can be used at
those >400 nuclear power plants worldwide
which are currently waiting for a solution to
their nuclear waste problem

22. Let’s clean up those dirty nuclear fuel
rods now!
Before an accident occurs and it’s too
late.
