Hitachi collaborates on TRU-consuming reactor development

Hitachi collaborates on TRU-consuming reactor development
Japan's Hitachi has begun further joint research with three US universities into the development of reactors that could use transuranic (TRU) elements as fuel. This could result in a significant decrease in the time needed for the decay in the radioactivity of used fuel. http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/WR-Hitachi-collaborates-on-TRU-consuming-reactor-development-2908144.html
