I was reading Biomedical research, where they are growing bacteria to clean up oil spills.The bacteria Would breakdown the Oil into water and other natural gases. Can bacteria be grown in a lab to eat up radioactive waste and break it down into harmless substances, Bacteria is known to be versatile and adapts according to surroundings. Maybe bacterial colonies exposed to radiation source over 100 to 1000 generations over time will develop such mechanisms to shield themselves from Radiation or eat up radioactive matter as a source of energy and break it down into inert substances or make it even more deadly.
(Mind you 100 and 1000 Generations of strains of Bacteria don't take Centuries of research and waiting, It happens in a matter of days as old colonies die and new colonies are per every micro second.)
The applications of such research could be huge.
I)If the Bacteria ends up adapting and eats up Radioactive substance and breaks it into Inert or Natural substances these are some applications on field.:-
1)From cleaning Nuclear fallouts, Nuclear disasters like Fukushima.
2)Make Enemy's nukes a dud by spreading these tiny microbes over their Uranium source or warheads and over time the Bacteria will eat up the Uranium and render the Nuke useless.
II)If the Bacteria shields itself from radiation ,these are the applications from its Research:-
1) Use the Bacteria to find out how it shields itself from Radiation and use that knowledge to create and cure Radiation Sickness and Radiation shielding.
III) If the bacteria becomes even more deadly and after digesting radioactive substance makes even a more potent radioactive or new material these are the Applications from such Research:-
1) We could discover new elements,substances and use such Bacteria to power up Nuclear reactors and use them to refine Uranium,Plutonium etc. instead of the traditional Centrifuges which are huge,take up a lot of space and are easily detectable from the Spy satellites to the world what we are upto. A bacteria in a small ditch will be Unrecognizable, you could literally, make Weapons grade Uranium,Plutonium in your basement.
