PPPL physicists propose new plasma-based method to treat radioactive waste Princeton NJ (SPX) Dec 09, 2015 - Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) are proposing a new way to process nuclear waste that uses a plasma-based centrifuge. Known as plasma mass filtering, the new mass separation techniques would supplement chemical techniques. It is hoped that this combined approach would reduce both the cost of nuclear waste disposal and the amount of b ... morehttp://www.nuclearpowerdaily.com/reports/PPPL_physicists_propose_new_plasma_based_method_to_treat_radioactive_waste_999.html
