Abstract
The use of the latest engineered nanomaterials in nuclear energy systems has opened doors for improving the performance and safety of nuclear power. Nuclear nanotechnology (NNT) deals with the use of engineered nanomaterials for future nuclear energy applications. Herein, the recent progress in research and benefits of using nanomaterials in different areas of nuclear energy like nuclear fuel extraction and fabrication, fission product capturing, creating robust reactor materials, radiation sensing and monitoring, and radioactive waste separation and spent nuclear fuel reprocessing are summarized. Ongoing research around the world in this field is reviewed, including experimental and computational methods.
