Why is there a ban on recycling if that much is reusable? I thought it was an issue with reactor design?
It was created to subsidize the production of nuclear weapons during the cold war and ensure a massive stockpile for future use in the event of nuclear war.
There are readily available chemical processes for separating out the waste from the pure fuel (we use them for processing the mined ore already)
Cool.
