Clean & Sustainable Nuclear Energy: Science-Led Waste Management

CARE Laboratory delivers science-based solutions for safely managing the radioactive waste that inevitably accompanies the use of nuclear energy. Radiochemistry lies at the core of our work: we probe how radioactive nuclides behave across a broad range of environments. We are interested in chemistry of dozens of elements in water, molten salts, soils, cements, metals, and irradiated systems, etc.—intrinsically complex yet equally fascinating!

Whenever emerging nuclear technologies call for chemical insight, we engage enthusiastically. Thus, ultimately, our goal is to harness nuclear fuel cycle chemistry to make nuclear power cleaner, more sustainable, and more widely trusted.

Key words: Repository Science, Radiochemistry, Analytical/Separation Chemistry, Data Science in Radioactive Waste Management & Nuclear Fuel Cycle Chemistry
