Not, is not all political. Nuclear companies employ thousands of clever people, and of course have easy access to nuclear products and nuclear plants, pools, buildings, machines... Those companies are doing big money also.

Despite being very gifted people with almost unlimited resources unreachable for the common guy, nobody had find a realistic solution for the nuclear waste in 50 years and nobody knows still how to decontaminate a nuclear wasteland in a safe and fast way. Finding those holy grail will make them multibillonaries in two months so is not a problem of lack of motivation.

If you prove, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that you can convert plutonium in a purring harmless kitten all politicians in the world will be at your feet droling and thinking about how to associate his/her name with the big success and what to do with the extra money now that expensive nuclear cemeteries payed with taxes are not needed anymore.

As a rule, I try not to blame other people for my own incompetence.
