Short films /web project about nuclear power

Is nuclear fission going to make a comeback and plug the gap in our energy needs? Will nuclear fusion ever become energetically viable?

My proposal for nuclear waste is to put it in the London Clay under London and use the heat given off for a district heating scheme for the city. After all they use most of the electricity and they could do with the heating so why not there. London clay is virtually water proof and it's a stable strata that's not likely to be eroded for a few hundred thousand years so the waste should be safe by the time it makes the surface.

And according to the Inspector it's safe as houses.
Utter piffle as usual because the waste will be quite cold, and - LOL - your concept of spent uranium atoms (check the atomic weight ) somehow diffusing to the surface in a few thousand years!
