My bad...Uranium, Plutonium nuke tech mental lapse this morning. Breeders are neat in that, more 'waste' is created in some sense, but less raw material is needed for continued operation and on-site processing for 'new' fuel rods from the breeder can give to strict security controls of the material.

This is one point the enviro's will not discuss. Just don't locate any new plants in 50 year flood zones, close to active or dormant faults, known dormant volcanoes, hurricane prone areas basically, and provide tight security. In my book, not a problem at all. Just build the new ones with US made / quality controlled materials and skilled legal US labor forces.

Agree on all points. The "nuclear issue" is as good a litmus test to differentiate between "real environmentalists" and "eco-freaks" as the "Second Amendment Issue" is at deterimining which politicians actually believe in the Constitution and personal liberty, and which are just giving them "lip service" (and not the kind Monica did for Billy-Jeff).
