> Historically, the concern has been what to do with the waste. But now, because we are investing in nuclear, we are finding that we can actually re-process the waste. Reprocessing of nuclear waste is by no means a "new" finding. It's been known since nuclear power reactors have been a thing, but it is politically untenable. No country with nuclear capabilities is comfortable with other countries reprocessing spent fuel, as it is a portion of the process used to create material for nuclear weapons. As much as I want to love nuclear as an amazing source of energy, the cost and issues that arise with nuclear waste are massive and frequently discounted by people encouraging additional nuclear power reactors.
