EU to build 700-million euro lasers to zap nuclear waste, cure cancer
The EU is to spend €700 million to build the world’s most powerful lasers, in Romania, the Czech Republic and Hungary. The technology may be used to destroy nuclear waste and provide new cancer treatments.

The lasers are ten times more powerful than any yet built, and will be strong enough to create subatomic particles in a vacuum, similar to the conditions that may have followed the start of the universe.

Scientists are hopeful that the lasers could be used to deteriorate the radioactivity of nuclear waste – some of which takes thousands of years to decay – in just a few seconds; they also hope to use them to target tumors.

Experimentation with such a powerful laser could significantly expand knowledge in nanoscience and molecular biology.

Called the Extreme Light Infrastructure project, two lasers will be built in the Czech Republic and Romania, with a third in Hungary, each specializing in a different area of research. The project will culminate in the development of a new fourth laser in a yet-undecided location, which is expected to have twice the power of the initial three.

The project's Romanian coordinator, Nicolae-Victor Zamfir, told Bloomberg in an interview, “We can’t find in nature any phenomenon with such an intense power like the one that will be generated with this laser.”

we don't need laser's for cancer treatment the earth has an abundance of natural cancer cure's if one takes the time to research such

Nice to hear some positive news about the EU in the middle of all this doom and gloom. Hopefully it actually produces results instead of useless waste.

Isn't. No laser is going to speed up the rate of radioactive decay. Someone is going to get scammed.

I had a dream a few months ago, I dont remember any part of the dream other than a female voice saying "lasers are the key". To what I know not.

I second that.

It would be a better investment to spent 1 billion on solar arrays in Greece and a DC power lane to North Europe.

How do you or we know?

I think the Theory behind is interesting
and 700.000.000 Euro is only a bit of
Money compared to the Billions we spend
for Nuclear Energy!

But i hope that the Nuclear Complex spend
some Money too!!!

Only with new Science we get a small
chance to survive, no Science- no Life!
