I, for one, am boycotting France and French products. Love BUSH BWTF is he thinking¿
The reprocessing of weapons-grade plutonium into reactor fuel is something that's been going on for quite a while. However, due to the anti-nuke movement in the United States, we lack sufficient facilities to handle our own reprocessing. It's a consequence of NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) and DIYDDIYD (Damned If You Do....). However, we've progressed a lot further in nuclear technology since Three-Mile Island. We need to get past the fear and anti-nuclear rhetoric and restart our own nuclear fuel processing and power programs.
I would oppose sending so much as a glass of clean water to France, let alone this stuff.
