It's time to move forward into reactors one can loft into orbit. |
Sorry about your sister. Hanford is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about not putting waste or a reactor on the banks of a river.
As far as recycling the fuel rods, they can but I think part of it, it is easier to mine and refine new materials as then they have a more known commodity. Think of it maybe like paper. The finest paper comes from new pulp, then the recycled paper is more for newspaper or cardboard.
