Reply #41: Chiggerbit is interested in recycling

You can, and should, check out the scientific work on nuclear fuel recycling for yourself. For context, make sure to read up on the economics and especially the legality of recycling, too, which will explain the seeming illogic of the situation. And look at recycling in the French nuclear program. There is no shortage of information on the Internet, enough to avoid biased sources.

Also, the term "high level waste" has a specific definition to the Department of Energy. It isn't being used as an unquantified adjective.

Yucca Mountain is its own expansive topic. I'm currently working on (i.e., not done reading) a 200-page technical report on it.

As a side note, a humorous touch is fine and welcome, but you probably don't want to adopt a superior or condescending pose.

Trust me on this one -- you don't.
