How seawater could corrode nuclear fuel
Japan
used seawater to cool nuclear fuel at the stricken Fukushima-Daiichi
nuclear plant after the tsunami in March 2011 -- and that was probably
the best action to take at the time, say experts. But researchers have
since discovered a new way in which seawater can corrode nuclear fuel,
forming uranium compounds that could potentially travel long distances,
either in solution or as very small particles.
