If subcritical reactors could be made economical whereby they process unenriched nuclear materials such as natural uranium and thorium, you could ban the existence of any kind of enriched nuclear material outside a nuclear facilities process streamlines - meaning you couldn't even store enriched uranium or plutonium in drums as a weapon's reserve inside your nuclear plants, if it's radioactive, you keep reprocesssing it. This could cut down theft and proliferation issues tremendously, because you would have a clear way to catch people red handed. Sillybilly 16:48, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I repeat my Radioactive_Waste's post here.

Take care of this link about how to use radioactive waste to produce precious metals. It is from a forum of an italian national television:

http://www.la7.it/community/forum/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=14133&start=1

It was a topic on Mondial Corruption and Poverty.

In the same topic there is also the description of how to produce artificial diamants of 10 carats and "above" of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, D.C. so reducing the wars for the diamonds (do you remember an Hollywood movie about it?).

In short, precious metals can be produced from radioactive waste, and the new tabletop particle accelerators of two Universities can do the rest.

The project to burn nuclear waste was also promoted by the Nobel Price Carlo Rubbia, and to produce precious metals is a subproduct of this method of nuclear burning with a linear particle accelerator.

Many posts are in English.

And I think you must give an eye on this too. Carlo Ceballos obtains PhD on shorter life-span of radioactive waste 05 February 2007 by TNWToday | M&C

A more general view on this process with a bit of history about particle accelerators for this project (2002?):
