German Research Team Completes First Phase Analysis of Chernobyl "Hot Particles": Nuclear Fuel Crystal Structure Still Exhibits Unexpectedly High Chemical Stability After 40 Years
Nearly 40 years after the 1986 Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant accident, a research team from Leibniz University Hannover and Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) in Germany has completed the world's first synchrotron radiation X-ray-based precision crystal phase analysis of 6 micron-sized highly radioactive fragments (commonly known in the industry as Hot Particles) ejected from the destroyed reactor. The related breakthrough research findings have been officially published in the top-tier journal in environmental and radioecology, the Journal of Hazardous Materials.

U.S. SUPC Completes Independent Engineering Assessment of Seawater Uranium Extraction Platform
SuperCritical Materials Corp. (SUPC) of the United States announced on August 26 that an independent engineering assessment conducted by Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR) has been completed. The assessment focused on the deployment architecture, offshore operation scheme, uranium recovery process, commercialization pathway, and key engineering conditions required for future large-scale deployment of SUPC's seawater uranium extraction platform. According to the assessment, SUPC's conceptual production plan proposes the use of approximately 10,000 tons of adsorbent, operating on a continuous 21-day deployment cycle, to supply adsorbent for a uranium processing facility with an annual production capacity of 1.85 million pounds of triuranium octoxide (U3O8)...
