NPR ("Science" Friday) ran a segment on a nuclear plant decommission the other day. All fear mongering and swooning over the "waste" issues. No mention of the dire need to roll out new nuclear plants (for clean energy!) that run on...nuclear waste.
I was appalled but not surprised. I have seen much better science coverage on YouTube by indie content producers.

Fission products cannot be recycled. Some actinides can be recycled, but only to a limited extent (one-through-again for MOX fuel) in any reactor that's approved for building today.
