      If even if that was possible there are other lot better ways to cure people with radiation treatments.

      Probably not. The problem with radioactive waste is that it is very radioactive for many many thousands of years. Which means it is not really ideal to inject this stuff into people. Usually the stuff we inject is radioactive only for about 12 hours

      No probably not. Even the radioactive material that we used for imaging is not very healthy.
