The lead section needs to better comply with WP:Lead. It is far too long and doesn't present a good summary of the article. And some statements are incorrect, for example, "nuclear waste became a greater concern by the 1990s". In fact, the absence of a working waste management facility became an important issue in the US by the mid-1970s:
In 1976, the California Energy Commission announced that it would not approve any more nuclear plants unless the utilities could specify fuel and waste disposal costs, an impossible task without decision on reprocessing, spent fuel storage and waste disposal. By the late 1970s, over thirty states had passed legislation regulating various activities associated with nuclear waste. [1]

The Table "Actinides and fission products by half-life" includes radium. It is relevant to the topic but it is neither an actinide nor a fission product. It is an alkaline earth metal (like barium) and a decay product so the table title is inaccurate. There may be other decay products significant for inclusion. 150.227.15.253 ( talk) 21:28, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
