Quote:Now if we could only convince the US public that Nuclear power is safe, we could get back to building them. The next thing to do as well would be to convince the world to have the IAEA handle reprossessing of spent fuel to recycle the still usable fuel (about 95% of the actual volume removed from the reactor) so that we can adequately deal with the true waste (about 1% of the material by volume in fuel is not usable at all, the 4% that is not usable as fuel can be used by various industries for various purposes, most going to medicinal uses). Place the reprocessing facility on some neutral ground and have everyone in the world ship their spent fuel there (which there are extrememly safe methods of transport, http://www.uic.com.au/graphics/flaskload1.gif (Seaborne) and http://www.nuclearfaq.ca/cask.htm (Truckborne or Railborne used in US and Canada, note the survivability of the cask in the shots).So how does one educate, or is it indoctrinate, a public soaked in "nukes are evil" folk lore for the past 20 years? Why are the MSM not all over this?
