The Exlterra Nucleus Separation Passive System (NSPS) is setting a new standard in environmental technology by tackling one of the world’s most persistent challenges: radioactive soil contamination. Designed to accelerate radioactive decay using natural energy within the ground, this groundbreaking innovation offers a sustainable, chemical-free solution to contaminated sites. Tested in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone under Project Hemera, Exlterra's NSPS demonstrates its ability to restore heavily polluted areas without disrupting the soil or introducing harmful substances. Discover how this transformative technology is reshaping the approach to environmental remediation.
Harnessing nature to solve a global challenge
The Exlterra NSPS system uses patented technology to redirect high-velocity particles naturally present in the soil. These particles, crucial in radioactive decay processes, are collected, accelerated, and funneled to break down radioactive isotopes. The result? A significant reduction in radiation levels over time without requiring soil excavation or chemical treatments.
Passive Technology: Operates without external energy sources.
Environmental Safety: Composed of polyethylene, the system is resistant to corrosion and abrasion, ensuring long-term reliability.
Precision Installation: Units are strategically placed to maximize efficiency and results.
The science behind the system
Radioactivity naturally decreases as isotopes decay, releasing energy in the form of positrons and other particles. NSPS captures and redirects these positrons to accelerate the breakdown of radioactive materials. The result is a sustainable, scalable solution for even the most severe contamination.
A bold vision for restoration
The Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, a symbol of environmental devastation since 1986, serves as the proving ground for Exlterra’s NSPS technology. Project Hemera aims to reduce radioactivity across a one-hectare test site, achieving measurable progress within six months and restoring natural radiation levels within five years.
Installation highlights
Site Preparation: Clearing vegetation and preparing the soil.
Precision Drilling: Boreholes up to 18 meters deep ensure optimal placement.
System Deployment: Over 19 kilometers of NSPS units create a network for energy redirection.
A sustainable future for contaminated sites
Exlterra NSPS exemplifies innovation, sustainability, and effectiveness. By offering a practical and long-term solution to radioactive contamination, this technology paves the way for restoring ecosystems and unlocking the potential of previously unusable land.
