I won't, I'm smart enough to know that there are LOTS of things I know nothing about.
AFAIK, the only reason we HAVE any nuclear waste just sitting around wasting heat is because Jimmy Carter banned the re-processing of waste into new useful material back in the 1970s. Ah yes, here it is, he is even still proud of it.
Statement from Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter on Effort to Reclassify Nuclear Waste
search for:
"As president I instituted a ban on commercial reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel in the United States, in part to avoid aggravating the waste problem."
Because, you know, If we just let waste sit around, instead of recycling it, it won't be a problem!
Maybe if there had been more than ONE swamp rabbit, we would not have these issues today.
