Quantum Kinetics Offers Swift Phase Out of Used Nuclear Fuel Stockpiles

Quantum Kinetics Corporation (QKC) has unveiled a transformative method for treating used nuclear fuel (UNF). The Electro-Physical Transmutation (E-PT™) process enables the rapid removal of dangerous radionuclides from nuclear power plants. This method synthetically accelerates radioactive decay events, turning harmful substances into inert forms.

E-PT™ not only eliminates long-lived fission products but also produces valuable elements like Thorium, Plutonium, and Barium. This innovative approach promises significant cost savings for the United States over the next decade.

McKane Lee, the inventor of E-PT™, highlighted its capability to accelerate sequential Beta decay transmutation, effectively creating 'stellar-like' events on Earth. This has been achieved through seven years of research and collaborations with national laboratories.

In a historic test, E-PT™ demonstrated its effectiveness by significantly reducing radioisotopes in contaminated water within 24 hours. The reduction rates included ~48.3% for Cobalt-60 and ~80.9% for Uranium-234, among others.

This breakthrough positions Quantum Kinetics at the forefront of safe nuclear energy systems, offering a practical solution to manage used nuclear fuel stockpiles efficiently.
