Most Expensive Radioactive Substance Revealed
Californium-252 is one of the most expensive radioactive isotopes in the world, produced in very small quantities, with a value of approximately $25.6 million per gram. Its main advantage lies in its ability to spontaneously emit millions of tiny neutrons, making it essential in nuclear and industrial applications. Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a new method that shortens the isotope separation process by a week, reducing costs and increasing efficiency in its production. This advancement comes at a time when the demand for californium-252 is increasing due to the expansion of nuclear energy in the United States, especially with the rapid growth of data centers relying on nuclear technologies.
