Nuclear energy storage
Could nuclear energy be a basis for energy storage with foreseeable technology? One approach would be to use excited nuclear states, but I suspect they would be too unstable to ever be useful. Alternatively, could nuclear fission be reversible? Put crudely, might it be possible to take the products of nuclear fission and bang them together so that they stick, waiting for a convenient neutron to release the stored energy?
