There is no such thing as nuclear waste
(c)RS
Every form of nuclear decay can be used as a source of energy....
For example Caesium Tokma reactors designed by Russia can convert lower forms of radioactive materials into energy.
Radio energy can be converted into power using an antenna .....
So really there is no form of radioactive waste that is not usable for power.
This realisation is a revolution.
The primary principle of the Tokma is that Ionised & Ionising Atoms (As in carrying a charge)
Travel to a Metal plate and transfer electrons to the plate..
The principle of the battery works by ionising acid & alkaline interactions...
In essence the charge carrying radiation acts like an anode/Cathode pair for charge transfer...
Ions are in effect Dipolar; If you regard the separate poles of - & + as separated...
So an acid, Alkaline battery joins Atoms in a chemical bond; though an electron resistant layer...
That layer is transparent to the Atoms themselves! But not if the electron cannot form the bond!
A Tokma in effect is an electron plate that receives the bond of an escaped Atom with a spare electron; But also a plate receiving high energy Radiation & so creating a free excited electron..
Solar cells work this way, The light activates a chemical or compound to release an electron..
That electron creates a current over a small distance; We use that current...
So principally all this comes down to is : No Radioactive Compound is useless!
We can also use Radioactive compounds for other tasks; let your mind roam free.

Given the long life span of radioactive waste ...
All of it must where possible be used for the benefit of the community...
So for example radioactive compounds can be used bonded with antigens to target cancer...
(not that safe but sometimes necessary)
Radio-actives can be used in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorium-based_nuclear_power thorium reactors ...
They can be used for pacemakers ..
They could be used for more clocks ....
For computer clocks for mainframes ...
For random event harvesting for Chaos RNG devices (Entropy T Rings) centralised in servers ....
Radioactive compounds all have uses ...
Stable isotopes can be used in space if a small amount of radiating compound is acceptable !
There are many uses of waste - use it or lose it !
No-one wants to lose 1.3 million tonnes of polluted water into the sea.
There is a use for every chemical; there is a use for every compound ...
There is a use for all that energy ...
Fluorescent bulbs ...
Lasers ....
Energy for spaceships & satellites ...
As references for scientific study ...
There are millions of uses for compounds and isotopes ...
Find a use for every mole of pollution .. that we create,
Waste is wasted ... Now we do not want to get wasted by an inability to create Eco-friendly solutions.
End the need to bury the rubbish by recycling all of it - wherever possible.
