A significant increase in public investment spending would boost jobs in the short run and pay enormous dividends in more rapid productivity growth in coming decades.

Each year, nuclear power generation facilities worldwide produce about 200,000 m 3 of low-and intermediate-level radioactive waste, and about 10,000 m 3 of high-level waste including used fuel designated as waste.he most radioactive form of waste is categorized as high-level waste and whilst accounting for only 3% of the volume of all the radioactive waste produced (equating to around 25 cm 3 per UK citizen per year), it contains 95% of the radioactivity.
The average household in the UK produces more than a tonne of waste every. year. Put together, this comes to a total of 31 million tonnes per year, equivalent. to the weight of three and a half million double-decker buses, a queue of which. would go around the world two and a half times. 4.
