According to recent theories drawn up in the last decades, the walls of a wormhole (not to mention the warp bubble of an Alcubierre Drive), will collapse, destroying any material trajector before it gets where it's trying to go. You need exotic matter (or alternatively, negative energy) to shore up these structures to prevent such collapse. But as is well known, we don't have any actual sources of such matter or energy. Or DO we? Examining the Nilsson plots of ellipsoidally deformed nuclei (particularly those of oblate deformation), reveals that highly deformed nuclei of such shape will have low-lying energy levels that fall far below 1.5 h-bar omega energies. And being the energies of low-spin species, they may be accessible. Would transitions here be only in terms of normal photon quanta, with positive energy values, or will some have negative energy values? If so, we might finally have a productive use for nuclear waste, akin to the antigravity 'Cavourite' paint used on the diving-bell space module in H.G.Wells' 'First Men In The Moon'? I think its worth a look-see. Comments, anyone?

Nuclear waste still has a positive energy curvature value in the Einstein field equations, you would need a negative energy curvature value which standard energy cannot achieve. Nuclear waste is using the weak nuclear force which is that force responsible for decay of nuclei. The energy curvature of the weak nuclear force is positive and not negative such as Dark Energy's curvature which is actually negative.

"The cosmological constant, also known as Einstein's cosmological constant, is a mathematical term in general relativity that is closely associated with dark energy. The cosmological constant is the gravitational effect of energy in space, and is represented by the Greek letter lambda (Λ). In many models of the universe, dark energy is represented by the cosmological constant, which is thought to be the main ingredient in vacuum energy."

I personally think you would need matter made of dark energy to stabilize a wormhole which dark matter still has a positive curvature value, what I mean is matter actually made of dark energy particles.
