Check out thorium, the nuclear fuel that is superior to Uranium and infact will eat nuclear waste as part of its breakdown process. Los Alamos built a reactor that fit on a plane circa 1967 and it worked. However, this fission doesn’t produce plutonium and so it can’t make bombs. So thorium was put away and now there is a movement to revive it.
