Abstract
The discovery of nuclear energy has given a big boost to human civilization, but all things
have their own positive points and negative points. The radioactive waste produced by
reactors is its major drawback. The waste produced by the reactors is disposed of, regarded
as waste. Instead, this hazardous waste can be again reused to generate more energy, this
will also reduce the probability of major nuclear leaks and spills, as the wastes are again
broken down into simpler elements, if repeated enough, the wastes produced can again be
used in fusion reactors to produce energy.

Problem Statement
Nuclear energy, something that is very interesting, is not trusted by public, it is not
the feasibility of technology of disposal which causes accidents during waste transports,
but even these can be reduced, by reusing the waste to produce energy. The correct
reactions can break down the waste again, generating more energy. The very problem is
the wastage of such a reusable source of energy.

Importance of the problem

The very problem, as discussed above, is the wastage of such a source of energy.

As it was truly said:

If radioactive waste were dissolved as water soluble compounds and then widely dispersed
in the oceans, no health or other environmental risks would ever occur.

Instead of wastage of such a reusable source of energy, we can develop a reactor

which can deal with waste to produce energy, as the wastes are also unstable, we can
easily achieve that very state. The leaks and spills caused while transportation of the
wastes can be greatly reduced. The energy released by breaking of Uranium to more
lighter elements can be then put to a better use, for the better of the mankind.

Conclusion
This research shall address the very way of reusing the radioactive wastes for better
purposes.

Shall the research succeed,

Management of radioactive wastes shall become easier.

Nuclear energy generation shall become more better, cleaner and efficient.

The accidents caused during the transport of wastes shall reduce noticeably.
