US Freezes Nuclear Power Plant Permits Because of Waste Issues

The fact is, that if we would add a couple of GE PRISM at all of the nuke sites, either running, shutting down, or shut down, we could burn up the vast majority of the 'waste'. From there, what would remain in 100 years, would fit easily in a corner of WIPPS and last only 200 years. Oddly, this would make loads of money for the plants while pretty much using up all of the 'waste'.

In addition, all of the new sites should be switched to a thorium cycle. Very safe to run and at a fraction of the price.
