Nuclear glass

My Trinitite, Trinitite, also known as atomsite orAlamogordo glass, is the glassy residue left on the desert floor after the plutonium-basedTrinity nuclear bomb test on July 16, 1945, near Alamogordo, New Mexico. The glass is primarily composed of arkosic sand composed of quartz grains and feldspar (bothmicrocline and smaller amount of plagioclasewith small amount of calcite, hornblende andaugite in a matrix of sandy clay)[2] that was melted by the atomic blast. It is usually a light green…

One nuclear site in southeastern Washington processed some 56 million gallons of radioactive waste alone – enough to fill more than 1 million bathtubs. Creating glass with radioactive waste at this site is expected to start around 2022 or 2023, and it could revolutionize waste storage.

At the Trinity test site in New Mexico, the radioactive substance "Trinitite" can still be found today.

The massive doughnut-shaped device, which has been dubbed 'Korea's artificial sun' ran at 100 million°C (180 million°F) for 48 seconds.

Armed with a Geiger counter, Michael Collins was given access to multiple power stations across the UK – he found them tranquil, beautiful and sinister

Of the over 100 tanks of liquid and solid radioactive plutonium waste stored underground at the Hanford site 20 had leaked

The interface between different materials accelerates chemical breakdown.

Thanks to the war in Ukraine, we’re scrambling to meet energy needs without Russian imports. We can do it by dismantling nuclear weapons.

Crystal Palace: The Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nuclear Nations - Australia-based artists Ken & Julia Yonetani have designed 29 chandeliers, all made from glowing uranium glass beads in response to the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011. Each of their chandeliers would represent a country with nuclear power, with size of the chandelier depending on the nuclear capacity of the country.
