Reply #35: Our current policy

Our current policy is: "We can have nuclear weapons but you cannot."

The hypocrisy exists regardless of the stance on reprocessing.

The fact that the centralized reprocessing model developed all by itself (France reprocesses for numerous countries) indicates that there are natural advantages to that model anyway, making enforcement easier. If it is more cost effective for countries to ship their waste to be reprocessed than developing the capacity themselves anyway, it should be easy to convince them to do so.
