They are in the research state, no production facilities as far as I know. I hope the tech is ready soon so at least some waste can be disposed that way.

The idea of course being that if it produces energy then some of the cost can be offset and that the end result has a much shorter half life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_IV_reactor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_IV_reactor
