When U.S. nuclear weapons were developed in the 1940s and 1950s, the enrichment of uranium was carried out carelessly at many facilities around the U.S. Clean up of the radioactive waste generated by the enrichment is still going on.

A study conducted by Deep Isolation on behalf of the U.K.’s Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) concluded that deep borehole disposal cannot replace the U.K.’s need of a geological repository for nuclear waste. However, it may have a useful role to play in the disposal of some of the U.K,’s nuclear waste inventory.

In my last post, I discussed plans to use native materials and additives from Earth to create bricks that could be used to construct habitats on the Moon and Mars. There are a number of different ideas for the construction of habitats on the Moon.
One of the many challenges of constructing buildings in space is that it will require cost-effective building materials generated on site. It would be prohibitively expensive to be launching bricks and mortar into space.
