Re: How Sweden deals with nuclear waste (none / 0)

That [proliferation] is a political problem. Apparently we should be getting ready to go to war with Iran because they're enriching uranium.

So I don't disagree on that, I am saying that the reason breeder reactors are not more widely used is that <gasp> they can be used to proliferate.

Only in the US where big oil and coal companies rule (and in Germany, where weed smoker rule, too) and use any excuse to keep nuclear power small.

The real reason breeders aren't widespread is cheap uranium.
