We live in a world where the demand for energy is increasing and where the use of fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) is threatening the environment. While nuclear power plants produce no CO2 and no atmospheric pollutants, the issue of the long-standing problem of management of the long-lived nuclear waste is not solved. I will show how Accelerator Driven Systems, using thorium instead of uranium as...
The physics community has been at the forefront of many aspects of open science. With the advent of big science, international collaborations have required tools to share information at scale. The world wide web, preprint servers (arXiv.org) and many other platforms (such as the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid and the CERN data portal) have been developed to allow the rapid and efficient...
