[FSNCAN] Digest Number 122
Carlo Rubbia discussed this issue with me. He raised the Accelerator Driven Systems, and the prospect of reducing radioactive waste to harmless ash while co-generating electrical power. As you might expect, I was unable to comment on the science.
Here are some pointers to information about Accelerator Driven Systems:
