France having gone the extra 2000 miles & building breeder reactors is chef kiss. It's much harder, but using more than 1% or 2% of the energy in the fuel & burning your wastes feels like the only acceptable long term solution. Storing vast quantities of nuclear waste indefinitely, as most reactors do, is something we are still bad at, will probably never be good at, and is a problem that will far outlast any kind of imaginable forseeable future. The only responsible path seemingly available is to burn up transuranics & other waste, to build fast reactors. But that doesnt seem to be where nuclear design has headed. Cheaper plants that externalize the infinitely long storage costs seems to be the reckless path we're on. We should do nuclear, but do it well, that doesnt spawn vast nuclear waste storage problems.
