India figured out how to re-burn used nuclear material in their reactors due to an embargo. Surely the US can figure this out if they had to.

- maxerickson 11y agoBluestrike2 is talking about consuming much more of the spent fuel material than existing reprocessing. India is getting ready to turn on a fast reactor that they can use to produce more fuel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype_Fast_Breeder_Reactor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype_Fast_Breeder_Reactor But I don't think it will be able to consume as much waste products as the Gen IV stuff, it focuses on making more fuel.
