The work is funded by an Office of Nuclear Energy grant for $210,747 per year for up to three years.
Stored in steel drums and buried in mountainsides, nuclear waste can remain radioactive for tens or hundreds of thousands of years. Reducing the space needed to store the waste, Brow says, saves time and money and will reduce the overall environmental impact.
