      See answer to “what is your opinion on nucular fuel” I had to choose only one of the nuclear power questions – there were too many!

      possibly never. Some questions you think will be answered in your lifetime and prove harder to solve. So growing up in the 1970’s I was told in school that that fossil fuels would run out in 20 years time. But clearly they didn’t (and we use lot more). I also thought that as the hydrogen bomb (fission) was less than 10 years after the atom bomb (fission) then nuclear power would change similarly. But progress seems very slow.
