Can radioactive waste radiation cause an electic field in superconducter?
Posted by admin under Uncategorized
Are the electrons in a superconducter "loose" enough to be moved by the radiation from radioactive waste? If a superconducting container were constructed to hold radioactive waste, could it generate electricity?
Even if it did generate a potential, the
radiation is random, so the net potential
would be zero.
You might get some energy out of the stuff with
thermocouples if you had the nerve to pack it
densely. (Verrry dangerous).
