RE: Upgrading nuclear and medical waste to dark matter detectors
This article particularly piqued my interest because of the likely application of nuclear waste as a detector. Have always being fascinated by the use of nuclear for energy production but somehow not too eager with how to manage the waste that will surely follow with running such an operation
Let's see how this theories work out in practice. I'm keeping my fingers crossed while we wait
One must be careful here. it is true that this gives us something to do with the waste during some time. However, most of the waste will still be waste after the experiments. The reason is that dark matter interacts very weekly, so that it will interact only very little with the excited isomers. But at least, this may buy some time to further think about what to do with those pieces of waste...
It was nice to read from you! It was a long time ^^
