Nuclear waste has a bad name. But in the same way we give everyday waste a new life through household recycling, we can give nuclear waste a second life through chemical recycling.

In this talk, nuclear chemist Tim Gregory explores how exotic isotopes in nuclear waste — byproducts of nuclear power — are being transformed into remarkable tools. They can be concocted into nuclear medicines, used to cure and diagnose illnesses on the smallest scale possible: one radioactive atom at a time. And they can be fashioned into long-lasting power sources for spacecraft, enabling the exploration of the solar system and — in the not-too-distant future — thriving settlements on the Moon… and beyond.
