DU is still a toxic heavy metal, and the 3-15% by mass (or 100% in a HWR) that becomes SNF needs containment that outmasses it by at least an order of magnitude

DU is still a toxic heavy metal, and the 3-15% by mass (or 100% in a HWR) that becomes SNF needs containment that outmasses it by at least an order of magnitude.
Then there's another order of magnitude more LLW again.
> to meet 3% of energy need
This is disingenuous because the proposition is to expand it to make a relevant contribution to decarbonization.
