Zapping Nuclear Waste in Minutes
"Gerard Mourou—one of the three winners of the 2018 Nobel Prize for Physics— claims that the lifespan of radioactive waste could potentially be cut to minutes from thousands of years. Although Mourou, 74, is quick to say that the laser option for nuclear waste that he and Irvine, California-based Professor Toshiki Tajima are working on may be years away, its promise has created a flurry of excitement for the sector in France."
