As a side note, if we would just reprocess out the uranium and plutonium from the spent fuel rods that are destined to be buried at Yucca Mountain in Nevada, then that could be used to provide power and not need to be sealed away for 3+ million years. It would really change the engineering requirements for Yucca Mountain.
If we would just start the process of recycling spent fuel rods again, we would decrease the amount of nuclear waste that has to be buried in Yucca Mountain. And recycling is good for the planet. :P
