Now for some good news on the energy front. A study by Jessica Veliscek-Carolan with the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation and the University of NSW, has led to the development of a special hydroxide powder. When the powder is placed in seawater, it will adsorb small amounts of uranium in the water. Sea water uranium is a renewable resource, as the uranium in sea water is replenished. And, it is less environmentally harmful.
This could pave the way for a renewable nuclear power industry. Hopefully Australia can keep the technology.
