Finland is on the cusp of becoming the world’s first country to bury spent nuclear fuel in a geological tomb where it will be stored for 100,000 years. Can it be done? Gareth Law, professor of radiochemistry at @helsinkiuni explains. https://t.co/nS7GwNcnBV
The ENEN2plus Bachelors School of Nuclear Science and Technology takes place in Helsinki during October 2024. Registration is now open. Travel and subsistence support is available through ENEN2plus for those selected to attend. https://t.co/mmR0uCMMVN
Congratulations to @Radiochem_Unit@KumpulaScience@GFVettese for his best poster award at the 2024 EU Predis project conference. Well done Gianni! Gianni’w research, completed in collaboration with @VTTFinland, examines the behaviour of a novel geopolymer wasteform for LILW.
Historic picture: It was incredibly exciting to see the beautiful pattern of Cs atoms in the pollucite structure. It’s sad that this was only possible due to a nuclear accident. New paper by @Radiochem_Unit@helsinkiuni https://t.co/NzFlhqWn5V
Congratulations to Joyce Ang and colleagues from @Radiochem_Unit, ai4r, @GTK_FI, @NUSingapore SNRSI, and @KyushuUniv_EN on our latest "hot" particle detection paper. Available at https://t.co/0rCmwTZYST.
New year, new @TRIM_Helsinki@Radiochem_Unit@KumpulaScience lab members! Both Martta Peltoniemi and Diana Barakhtii have started the Ph.D. journeys on new PET tracers for the glymphatic system and targeted carriers for boron neutron capture therapy, respectively.
Well done to all @KumpulaScience PIs working in civil nuclear — a truly excellent result in this year’s SAFER2028 call. Our existing projects continue, 1 gets promoted to excellence status (way to go Soroush!), and the cherry on top — 2 new projects have been funded. Delighted 🥰
