We do it with tritium vials which has a half life of 10 years
Uranium has over 100k years
Basically, create a glass vial, line it with phosphorus
Fill it with tritium gas
Radiation from tritium causes phosphorus to glow. Since Tritium is beta radioactive, it can be contained in the glass
Enjoy your glowing glass that can produce light for solar panels nonstop
Uranium is alpha (easier to contain) but depleted uranium has too many impurities that maybe gamma radioactive (can penetrate a meter of lead)
But given the option, you can do the same with it
Inuclear waste aren't real waste
They are nuclear fuel that became too diluted for safe and predictable results
