That’s important because the disposal of plutonium is probably the nuclear industry’s most vexing problem."<br /><br />Better to move those spent rods from nuclear facility to nuclear facility. The alternative is moving it to the small towns where they are proposing these fusion-fission plants. It would also give the DOE some incentive to clean up their already radioactive sites ...easily ignored when you can plop another 'nuclear' facility right on top.Jonnoreply@blogger.com
