"Re-processing facility" means it comes from used rods (i.e. "waste"). This is fine, you can have your thread dedicated solely to waste. Though I do think that waste reprocessing should also be included in such a thread. ----- As to the more general matter, people aren't concerned so much with waste, as with everything about nuclear power. Including "accidental waste" such as that caused by the Chernobyl civilian reactor failure. Yes, I'm glad we're designing and building meltdown-proof reactors. The long-term waste, regardless of how it originates (whether from conventional waste, decommissionings, or what have you) needs to be processed such that people a hundred, thousand, ten thousand years from now don't have to do anything special about it. I think this can be done. But without stringent, real-time regulations I am not confident industry, or even government, will do what's necessary.
