Smarter waste strategies: Helping deliver on the promise of advanced nuclear
At COP28, held in Dubai in 2023, a clear consensus emerged: Nuclear energy must be a cornerstone of the global clean energy transition. With electricity demand projected to soar as we decarbonize not just power but also industry, transport, and heat, the case for new nuclear is compelling. More than 20 countries committed to tripling global nuclear capacity by 2050. In the United States alone, the Department of Energy forecasts that the country’s current nuclear capacity could more than triple, adding 200 GW of new nuclear to the existing 95 GW by mid-century.

A method that is essentially selective has been developed for the micro-determination of ruthenium in uranium compounds. The ruthenium is separated by distillation as ruthenium tetroxide from an acid permanganate medium and is determined spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 460 mµ as its divalent complex with 4,7-diphenyl-1, 10-phenanthroline (bathophenanthroline). The complex extracted with 1-hexanol has a molar absorptivity of 27 000 liters/(mole cm). A quantity of 0.2 µg of ruthenium can be detected, and it is possible to measure concentrations of 0.02 µg of ruthenium per gram of sample or even lower if sufficient sample is available. The limit of error in determining 10 µg of ruthenium is ± 10% at the 95% confidence interval.
