Well it wont be there if its highly radioactive as it will have decayed.
If its not highly radioactive then what does it matter?

U235 is rather radioactive and has a half life of 704,000,000 years.


Rubbish!
If it has a half life of 700 million years it is not highly radioactive!

You can't have highly radioactive and long half life at the same time.
You just don't understand the science.

You can tell how radioactive it is as when they deliver MOX fuel rods to
a power station all they are in is a cardboard box!
