Have you ever heard one talk about shutting down radiation therapy or X-Ray machines? The French have been re-using spent nuclear fuel for years. Why can't we?

As long as politicans try to run everything the country is never going to advance enough to have the energy that we need . The politicians in Washington have no intentions of serving the people , but every thing they can to stay in power . Nuclear waste can be taken care easily enough , but we have to have a Gov. that is willing to make hard desisions about how to go about it , not what is political correct.

They're are just too busy serving themselves at our expense. Basically the won the American citizens did not.

It's completely safe for storage, lacks contamination threats, and is the best method developed in decades. That's what they're building at Hanford, WA right now to clean up leftover waste from Manhattan. You think the NEI would have just been advocating for straight vitrification of waste materials.
