Even though radioactive contamination can remain active for thousands of years, with more research, we will eventually be able to cleanup radioactive spills. Some of the research currently contcentrates on techniques of extracting radionuclides from all contaminated areas and moving them to a different locations. Using foam and paste to extract radionuclides from different building materials even such difficult ones as porous concrete.

But, we are not really dealing with the problem, we just give it to somebody else to deal with. What if we reverse chain events in a radioactive reactions. What if there is a way to speed up the radioactive decay from years to seconds. We have spend so much time and resources reseaching the nuclear bomb to create chaos and mayhem but in the last 50 years, very little has been done to look for reversing the effects of such catastrophic events. Just like some have experimented turning air pollution into harmless dirt, there must be a way to create reactions that speed up or stop the harmful radioactive decay.
What if the superpower is not the one who has the most destructive bomb, but the one who has the most anti-destructive bomb?
