Great development if it works.

Well, here is a potential development that can bring nuclear into a viable alternative: A Canadian lab just ran a chemical process on real spent nuclear fuel and pulled out 90% of the long-lived danger in 24 hours, the part that forces a burial site to last 100,000 years, with the leftovers meant to fuel a reactor https://share.google/bEVunnl6sp8t3mOVg

No point posting them here then, Nev.

If it does, it changes the whole of life costs and almost solves the issue of waste, though, more info is required. Sellafield today reprocess spent fuel but there is only so many times you can do it. Of course, it uses a different process. The up front costs don't change and the need to build two different capability reactors also adds so.e complexity and cost.. but the numbers will come down slightly
