Nuclear Waste
Nuclear waste is one of the most pressing and provocative
environmental issues of our time. This radioactive waste, which
remains deadly for thousands of years, is incredibly difficult to
deal with. Unfortunately, time is running short for a solution, as
a growing number of reactors, (111 in the United States alone),
radioactive remnants of Cold War weapons, and increasing medical
uses

large-scale recycling could lead to trade in plutonium,
which can be used to make nuclear weapons.
The question of how to deal with nuclear waste is an extremely
difficult one, but it must be dealt with. Certainly, nuclear waste
must be disposed of somewhere, and the longer we wait, the more
formidable the task becomes. What is needed is more study on how
radioactive elements behave, hopefully enough to solve this most
urgent environmental problem.
