## Resource

The Aukus submarine deal is sparking global alarm over nuclear waste — Australia will manage three tons of uranium enriched to 80%, the same level used in Hiroshima bombs, enough to build over 120 weapons. With this material remaining radioactive for millions of years, securing it for centuries is a monumental challenge. Experts warn this sets a dangerous precedent, potentially encouraging other nations to bypass global safeguards. While officials pledge top-tier stewardship, the first submarines won’t be decommissioned until the 2050s — leaving little time to solve one of humanity’s most enduring security dilemmas.
