Reuse of radioactive waste from mill tailings as fuel sources for radioactive power systems

Abstract

I am a Brazilian PhD student in Nuclear Technology with a Bachelor in Physics and a Master's Degree in Nuclear Engineering. My current work is to evaluate the feasibility of the use of mill tailings waste as power sources for nuclear batteries. This would both solve the mill tailings waste problem and provide the country with nuclear batteries that can be used in outer space and other remote places for exploration and industrial applications.
