核废料中和
在发电中使用放射性材料产生大量的高放射性废物, 这是目前被存储在世界各地的各种网站, 特别是在在反应堆场址水, 在特殊核废料储存设施, 如那个 $96 在尤卡山十亿美元的项目, 内华达.
更大量的放射性废物正在由医疗和工业用户日常生产, as well as maintenance workers at nuclear plants. This low-level radioactive waste stream includes such things as clothing, 鞋套, 注射器, 瓶子, 等等. Another source of radioactive waste is water filters, which remove naturally occurring radioactive particles from large quantities of drinking water. These must all be disposed in a safe manner, keeping the environment and the public from exposure. The large volume of low-level radioactive waste, 这需要特殊的处理和存储, 是一个日益严重的问题.
虽然物理学家否认有可能, 和能源部拒绝国会的职权进行调查，, 技术以消除放射性已经存在了 30 年份. Some of this was discovered by the inventor Yuill Brown, known for inventing Browns Gas. Other technologies are ready for low-scale deployment, 并可以很容易地扩展到移动舰队现场处理车中和存放在数百个土地填充的放射性废物.
进一步的发展可以是能够中和是当前为我们当前和数百后代中的问题的高反应性废物.这些进程可以每年数十亿美元的存储和处理费，除了保存到减少辐射损伤的几率对环境或人口.
