Well Thorium has once again stepped up to the plate, and proven itself once more to be a very nifty little element.

Scientists at the US, "Notre Dame University", have been playing around with Thorium, and discovered that if they cook it up with Boric acid, they can extract these little Thorium crystals that will absorb nuclear waste.
Apparently each crystal has a slight negative charge, that attracts stuff with a positive charge, like nuclear junk.

This is a significant improvement of the use of clay, which acts similiarly, but far less efficiently.

Keep it up boys, I know that scientists and governments tell us that Nuclear (pronounced newk yull err, by the same folk who supply us with baa lewins) Waste, is not a problem, but until they get this whole waste management issue right, I for one will still hold grave reservations about the whole Nuclear energy issue.

Here is a link to an article which gives tells the story.
