I didn’t know there was such a thing as a “cogeneration” nuclear power plant. I thought the problem with nuclear power was the inability to get rid of the waste.

You’re a little behind the times. LOL

“Rapid increases in population levels have led to greater demands for fresh water and electricity in the Arab World. Different types of energies are needed to contribute to bridging the gap between increased demand and production. Increased levels of safeguards in nuclear power plants have became reliable due to their large operational experience, which now exceeds 11,000 years of operation. Thus, the nuclear power industry should be attracting greater attention. World electricity production from nuclear power has risen from 1.7% in 1970 to 17%-20% today. This ratio had increased in June 2002 to reach more than 30%, 33% and 42% in Europe, Japan, and South Korea respectively.”

Only Jane Fonda and her ilk still believe and continue to promote the idea that those used up hot rods are actually "waste!" They can and are being reprocessed in Japan, France and several other third world countries.

Meanwhile, the USA sits here with designs for "Breeder Reactors" in a Jimmy Carter inspired deep freeze that would recycle so-called "waste," or spent rods into such a small mass for the whole US that it would all fit in a shoebox along with some of Jane's pumps!!!
