Physicists from Tomsk Polytechnic University are currently working to create hydrogen-resistant products out of titanium alloys based on additive manufacturing. The production of metal products using the technology ensures less material consumption as well as possibilities to develop complex geometric products. The project is led by Associate Professor Natalia Pushilina at the Department of General…
Radioactive Waste Disposal Could Be Safer, Cheaper
Scientists from Tomsk Polytechnic University and Rosatom have developed a technology to reprocess irradiated reactor graphite by evaporation. This technology allows making radioactive waste disposal safer and economically feasible. According to the polytechnicers the technology itself is not new: previously radioactive waste has been processed in plasma. However, this was low-level metal waste. The evaporation…
