#What current projects are underway to further develop nuclear technology?
#How do different doses and wavelengths of radiation affect the human body? Could usable energy be acquired through nuclear means while exposing workers to a "safer" dose or type of radiation? In other words, is there any way to reduce the health risks of working in a nuclear power plant without disrupting the process of extracting energy?
#How can the problem of storing dangerous chemical waste from nuclear power plants be eliminated?
