Re: The real enemy is not peak oil, it's resource (none / 1)

OK, so we're not talking about currently operating commercial fission reactors, but possible future reactors. Still there are quite a few problems with breeders (not least of which is non-proliferation).

For an (oldish) breeder assessment see "Nuclear Power and Energy Security: A Revised Strategy for Japan (1998)" specifically chpt. 4. AFAIK the problems it highlights are still problems today (but I could be wrong).

For a more general skeptical view of nuclear (fission) power in general see "WHY NUCLEAR POWER CANNOT BE A MAJOR ENERGY SOURCE"...
