The Ilumawan of the University of Bristol, England find methods of managing nuclear waste into an energy source. They were able to change the nuclear waste that can be used as a battery made of diamond.
Quoted from Sciencealert, Wednesday (30/11), they transform into diamonds radioactive gas that can be used as a battery. In fact, these artificial diamonds were able to equalize the electric power potential, while capable of providing energy resources for thousands of years into the future. "No part of the changes that must be changed, do not need emission, there should be no treatment is needed," said Tom Scott Geology from the University of Bristol, England.
Scott said, through the radioactive material inside a diamond, the team can change the problem of nuclear waste into a full battery power and can be used long-term for the source of clean nuclear energy. During this time, Tim Scott has shown an example of a diamond batteries use nickel isotopes are unstable from the radiation source 63 or nickel.
Nickel 63 have half the life span of 100 years means that these scientists have discovered 63 nickel-based batteries can be charged up to 100 years. However, scientists said there were other sources of energy the better they do, and this way one solution to resolve the nuclear imbah in England.
Other alternative energy sources by creating a block of graphite in nuclear power plants, in which the radiation source can be replaced carbon-14 because it has a life time of about 5370 years. So by using a carbon base material 14 made sources of radiation could be perfect even be able to supply the battery energy is very long. "Carbon 14 have become a source of material for low radiation emission, can also be absorbed by many sources every solid material," said researcher Neil Fox.
Problem diamond battery savings, the team compared with AA alkaline batteries that are commonly used throughout the world. Where AA alkaline batteries with a weight of 20 grams has an energy level of 700 joules per gram and can be used for 24 hours.
Meanwhile, the battery diamond with a weight of 1 gram of carbon-14 could produce 15 Joul per day and can continue to produce energy for 5,730 years. So the total could reach 2.7 terajoul storage. "This study is too early yet interesting which is able to provide a useful purpose for the needs of the radioactive waste is very large, and able to provide the energy source that is new and nice. The battery of this diamond is an example of a very nice and interesting where the UK is able to provide the value of a waste, "said Scott.
The research team share details of the study entitled 'Ideas Changing the World' that the University of Bristol, United Kingdom last week, but their research has not been published, so it will have to wait and see how carbon-14 can work.
