Uranium isn't the issue. A long half-life means that it's only mildly radioactive. Prior to being irradiated in a reactor, fuel rods can be manually handled safely. The majority of radiation being emitted currently is coming from fission products like Sr-90 and Cs-137 that have half-lives of decades. |
