Proving DRACO will deliver
The United States is now closer than it has been in over five decades to launching the first nuclear thermal rocket into space, thanks to DRACO—the Demonstration Rocket for Agile Cislunar Orbit.

The tertiary pyridine-type anion-exchange resin has been synthesized for the treatment of spent nuclear fuels and high-level radioactive waste. This resin, with a uniform diameter of 60 µm, is mechanically strong enough and shows no swelling or shrinking regardless of its chemical forms. Systematic analysis was made of the adsorption selectivities of the resin in HCl solutions for a number of cations that exist in spent fuels, such as uranium and fission product elements. The results indicate that the resin is suitable to be used for the treatment of spent fuels and high-level radioactive waste.
