DOHA, Oct 24, (KUNA): The Kuwaiti inventor Issa Abdulrahman AlNasrallah has presented to the 22nd GCC youth science forum a project for cementing walls of nuclear reactors.

The Kuwaiti nuclear engineer told KUNA he started working on the project since he was a university student, when he presented a study on radiation impact on metals.

The Kuwaiti project is fundamentally based on the process in which matter transforms into plasma under extreme pressure and heat.

Scientists have been exerting tremendous efforts to use materials that can withstand extreme conditions for at least five years.

Al-Nasrallh indicated that his project is centered on impact of radiation, nuclear wise, and on components of metals. Nuclear fusion is nowadays a main physics’ branch.

The forum opened on Saturday with a delegation from the Scientific Center of Kuwait taking part. The seven-day event provides a networking opportunity for talented youth from the six members of the GCC and aims to foster their scientific skills.
