6 FAQs about [Nuclear waste battery technology]

Could a reformed nuclear waste battery last thousands of years?

Researchers are developing a new battery powered by lab-grown gems made from reformed nuclear waste. If it works, it will last thousands of years. A prototype of Arkenlight's carbon-14 diamond betavoltaic battery. Courtesy of University of Bristol

Can industrial symbiosis make use of nuclear waste to develop batteries?

Thus, an emergent opportunity of industrial symbiosis to make use of nuclear waste by using radioactive waste as raw material to develop batteries with long shelf life presents a great opportunity for sustainable energy resource development. However, the current canon of research on this topic is scarce.

Why do we need a nuclear battery?

The battery also provides a safe way of dealing with nuclear waste. Carbon-14 is generated in graphite blocks in some nuclear fission powerplants. The UK holds almost 95,000 tonnes of graphite blocks and, by extracting carbon-14 from them, their radioactivity decreases, reducing the cost and challenge of safely storing the waste.

Can a 'diamond battery' encapsulate nuclear waste?

By encapsulating radioactive material inside diamonds, we turn a long-term problem of nuclear waste into a nuclear-powered battery and a long-term supply of clean energy.” The team have demonstrated a prototype ‘diamond battery’ using Nickel-63 as the radiation source.

What is a miniaturised nuclear battery?

A long-lasting miniaturised nuclear battery utilising 14 C radioactive isotope as fuel Miniaturised power sources, especially batteries, are key drivers to attain energy security and to generate wealth in the society to achieve sustainability for human life .

Can nuclear batteries be used as nanomaterials?

The mechanisms and processes within the nuclear battery are analogous to photo-voltaic cells and the development of a nuclear battery can fuel the artificial photosynthesis process. Integrating nuclear batteries with nanomaterials will play an effective role in developing nanodevices or smart miniatured healthcare devices.
