I answered "support" with the following caveats:
1. It needs to be a safer design than the old 50 year old designs we have now. Something self-regulating, like pebble bed.
2. We need to get the political clout together to actually create reprocessing plants. We have the technology to reprocess spent fuel over and over again until there's pretty much nothing left but a tiny bit of low-grade material that's much easier to dispose of (and much less of it!)
3. The NRC needs teeth to actually enforce safety, and Congress needs to leave them the hell alone.
Oh, and I want an RTG for my basement.
