how safe? (Score 1)

okay now, suppose those "helpful" bacteria were able to make the nuclear thingies less radio-active, how safe would that be? i don't know the much about the similarities between nuclear bombs and the ones used in nuclear power plants but from what i know radiation emmitted from tools(i forgot what it's called) in the nuclear power plant needed to be submerged in water for 5 whole year for it to be less radio-active. It is also not advisable to plant it underground that's why it is stored in a container.
