ARGONNE, Ill. (Jul. 23, 2012) — Hussein Khalil, director of Argonne’s Nuclear Engineering
Division, describes for WGN’s Bill Moller how pyroprocessing and spent nuclear fuel recycling
in fast reactors will provide major energy benefits while greatly reducing the complexity of traditional
nuclear waste disposal technology, and gives a brief status of this technology development.
Below is a link to the podcast of the interview, a 4-minute crash course about nuclear recycling by Argonne National Laboratory and
