Thanks for the link.
I was not aware that we even had such restrictions.
Reading the article, it appears that reprocessing is a double edged sword, but if it gets us away from dealing with apocalyptic mad men for oil it might be the better choice.
It is amazing to me that France, Japan and other places in the world have safely done this for decades, but the US is unwilling to do so. By not reprocessing, we create more hazardous waste to be be stored. Combine that with the fact we now import more uranium fuel than we produce domestically. This hurts us in multiple ways.
