Kirishima Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that pursues coexistence between resources and the environment through the chemistry of the nuclear fuel cycle.
AboutAbout the lab
Advancing nuclear fuel cycle chemistry for coexistence with resources and the environment!
The Kirishima Lab studies the chemistry of the nuclear fuel cycle used in nuclear power.
After nuclear fuel is burned in a reactor, radioactive materials and unused uranium remain.
By capturing the chemical behavior of radionuclides in aqueous (wet) and non-aqueous (dry) systems, the lab develops recycling methods that generate little waste.
The lab is also investigating how radionuclides move in the groundwater environment after treatment and disposal.
Key terms
- Nuclear fuel cycle
- The whole flow that follows the burning of nuclear fuel in a reactor: separating radioactive materials and unused uranium, then treating and disposing of the waste
- Radionuclide
- A type of atom with an unstable nucleus that emits radiation and changes into another atom. Uranium is one example
