World-leading research and innovation – right in the heart of Canada.
The USask Signature Series explores the cutting-edge research taking place at the University of Saskatchewan across the university’s Signature Areas of Research.
Researchers across the University of Saskatchewan (USask) are exploring the science and policies behind nuclear energy — all the things that make it work, and the best and most responsible ways for society to use it as low carbon energy source alternative to fossil fuels.
Dr. Andrew Grosvenor (PhD), the department head of Chemistry in USask’s College of Arts and Science and one of the co-leads for the Energy and Mineral Resources for a Sustainable Future Signature Area of Research at USask, and Canadian Light Source associate scientist Dr. Mehrnaz Mikhchian (PhD), have delved deeply into research around the mitigation and storage of nuclear waste.
Their research is crucial to the future of nuclear energy in Canada and around the world, and their insights show how USask research is helping to shape that future.
On this episode of the USask Signature Series podcast, we answer the question “What do we need to know about nuclear energy?”
