The top 10 states of nuclear
The past few years have seen a concerted effort from many U.S. states to encourage nuclear development. The momentum behind nuclear-friendly policies has grown considerably, with many states repealing moratoriums, courting nuclear developers and suppliers, and in some cases creating advisory groups and road maps to push deployment of new nuclear reactors.

The Fenton process has emerged as a promising technology for treating liquid radioactive waste, leveraging its ability to degrade organic pollutants. This review provides a comprehensive examination of Fenton oxidation for liquid radioactive waste management, encompassing recent advancements, parameter optimization, and process modifications. The discussion explores mechanisms and kinetics, catalyst development, optimal reaction conditions, and integration with complementary technologies and scalability challenges. Recent findings highlight the potential of modified Fenton processes, such as solar-driven Fenton and electro-Fenton, for enhanced degradation efficiency and reduced energy consumption. This review critically assesses existing studies to inform future directions for improving process efficacy, minimizing secondary waste generation, and ensuring safe handling of liquid radioactive waste.
