There should be an exhibit where one can hold radioactive uranium to show how relatively harmless it is. All this fear of "waste" with long half-lifes is silly.

At minimum science classes should be teaching the facts about the relative safety of these materials when they cover radioactive decay in class so that children aren't manipulated by anti-nuke groups and rhetoric. Maybe they can even have 1 more tool to spot when corrupt media is lying to them (which is whenever their lips are moving).
