Employing the use of metal oxide infused conformal coatings as a shielding material in a terrestrial reactor should ideally produce nuclear wastes no higher than class B while also reducing the neutron activations (and thus waste classification) of any materials behind the shield. This allows for the increased likelihood of the ability to use on-site sequestration or minimal near-surface disposal, in lieu of geological repositories, and thus the potential for considerable cost savings.}, journal={NUCLEAR ENGINEERING AND DESIGN}, author={Long, Michael and Hayes, Robert B.}, year={2022}, month={Nov} }
