Two big drawbacks - engineering for molten-metal-coolant reactors of any kind is a b*tch, and (IIRC) there is no reprocessing.

Neither one is insurmountable, but the other thing is that without the uranium cycle reactors, you cannot make nuclear weapons.

I've read the waste turns to fairy dust. You make me cry. :( /s

There are extensive assertions on 'the web' concerning the ease of recapture/reprocessing/disposal. None of them contain specifics. Thank You.

Which explains the TRUE goals of the "no-nuke" movements.

I wrote--but then erased--"Damn all of them to hell" but then remembered that I am supposed to pray for my enemies.

Man are my molars getting worn down!

Cheers!
