WG,

Isn't USU doing enrichment?

Also, if the fed would take the spent fuel and reprocess it as they do in France, the fuel cycle would be more cost effective. There is a lot of U-235 left in spent fuel as well as all of the fissionable plutonium that is produced during reactor operation ("breeding").

I agree that no new nukes will be built for a long time. I do not think any utility wants to take on the short sighted energy department or the "greens".

Maybe the next nuke will actually have the "greens" blessing when they realize it is the most environmentally friendly means of large scale power production.

regards
homer
