1) Nuclear waste can't cause a nuclear explosion.

That was my question. What could they do with it?
Thanks for answering in advance.

180 pounds of spent fuel waste

Currently, the United States has nearly 8,000 active/operational nuclear warheads, and an additional 2,700 kept in inactive status. That is a stockpile of nearly 11,000 active/operational near active nuclear warheads ready to be flown by a conglomerate of U.S. strike bomber aircraft, battle groups, and land launching facilities.

I think he/she is over matched.
