At present, the question to be answered is what to do with the spent nuclear fuel in order to be able to prepare locations for its final disposal in the next century. For this reason, not only the feasibility studies are needed concerning the technical possibilities of destroying what is called now ''nuclear wastes''. Financial aspects of such program and their time horizon are to be assessed and confronted with estimates of the uranium market development. Doing this, public opinion and general political considerations should be taken into account.
