Yeah it's basically an assortment of radiation sources, e.g. the things we routinely use in medicine and obscure industrial cases.
The short-lived stuff could see immediate use in various contexts that need access to radioactive sources, or in RTG batteries.
The long-lived stuff (plutonium, mostly) can be used as fuel in reactors that currently exist mostly on paper, but would work if there was money to build them.
There isn't a radioactive waste problem. There's an anti-nuclear political problem :(
