Some people still think that recycling nuclear fuel = making plutonium for bombs.
Correct.
This nonsense started with Gerald Ford in 1976 and was happily carried on by President James Carter*
The plan is basically insane. A repository that will remain secure 2x as long as the entire written history of civilisation is just nuts.
*TBF Carter was the only American president who actually helped clean up a real nuclear accident so how a bad design could go very bad, very fast (IIRC 20MW steady state -->3GW pulse lasting less than 1 sec. Killed all 4 operators and a nurse on the rescue team :-( )
Biting the hand that feeds IT
