What are the Challenges in Implementing Catalysis in Nuclear Reactions?
Several challenges exist in realizing the potential of catalysis in nuclear reactions. These include the extreme conditions required for nuclear transformations, such as high temperatures and pressures, as well as the need for precise control over the reaction environment. Moreover, identifying or designing effective nuclear catalysts that can operate under these conditions and understanding their mechanisms at the atomic level are major scientific hurdles. The cost and safety considerations associated with nuclear research further complicate these efforts.
