This article below talks about a new, accidental discovery in removing harmful cesium ions from nuclear waste. I could see this having a major impact on swaying government decisions to go with nuclear power because it becomes much cleaner and the environmental impact would be significantly less.

Indirectly that could be a good driver on boosting Uranium futures and would bode well for KXL too. I know that's a bit of a stretch at this point but you can connect the dots. It's an interesting article none the less and it's not too long.
