Generating nuclear power requires moving spent radioactive fuel safely over thousands of miles from reactor sites for reprocessing or disposal.these casks are so strong that they can take a direct hit at their weakest point by a 100 tonne diesel locomotive traveling at 100 mph (160 km/h) and still come away with little more than scratches and superficial dents.

Transporting this fuel is a serious and delicate operation because it not only involves containing the fuel rods in line with the strict regulations of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) recently completed a nuclear triathlon that involved moving a simulated cargo of spent fuel rods over 14.the metal cladding of the rods becomes very brittle and the assemblies require careful handling if theyre not to shatter

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) create a charge from the friction of two materials rubbing together.It could find eventual practical uses in harvesting energy from movement or vibrations through clothing.
