I have to plead ignorance about the details, is it cost-effective? Does it get rid of all the waste? Is there significantly lest waste stockpiled now than 10 years ago? Just the term reprocessing suggests to me that only a fraction is actually used up each time. I do know of a well documented, proven solution in Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors that burn the existing waste, produce no products suitable for bombs, and have a tiny reactive waste with a 78 year half life. http://www.energyfromthorium.com/ Doesn't this sound like the ideal solution?
