A Novel Idea

Studying algebra and having just listened to "Quantum Man: Richard Feynman's Life in Science," by Lawrence M. Krauss, I realized that something I have been thinking a lot about since I found out about nukes. I've wondered if it is possible some scientist could find a way to neutralize radiation. I didn't think it was possible, but the more I learn, the more I believe that there is a possibility. Having this in mind, here is my novel idea:

What if a team or individual scientist found a way to neutralize radiation, meaning in bombs, nuclear waste, etc.? Here are a few things about this idea that I do not believe I could put into an interesting novel not having the knowledge of the many factors that would make this a great story:

1) Was or what if the government was watching this team? It is doubtful the government would support such a thing, can you guess why? To have the ability to have their nukes neutralized would put them at a disadvantage on the world control stage. Then what?

2) Would the story have them being watched or would it be a surprise to the government?

3) What would the government do? Would they stop them? Kill them? Destroy the evidence? It is doubtful in my mind that the government would support such a thing unless they could use it as a weapon. Let's imagine they can't. I cannot honestly imagine the government supporting such a thing.

4) What agencies would be engaged in stopping them? Knowing a lot about the humanity behind the agencies that would hunt for these folks and what they would do with them, what would their stories be?

5) How would this team react knowing that they are not considered great heroes by the U.S. government? What would they do? Could their developed technology neutralize nukes and waste from a distance? How does it work? Could they use this technology to defend themselves?

I think this is a great novel idea. If anyone knows anyone out there who can make a believable story out of this idea, pass it on. If you can, use it. It is just something that has been playing around in my head.
