I'm more of a fan of reprocessing spent fuel. And now that I know about it... WOW. bmull, I wish I had known about this Traveling Wave Reactor before. This does look like promising technology, but it is something that needs much work to accomplish.

Here is a blog entry that puts down TWRs as an unrealistic technology... but the commmentary that follows is amazingly concise and polite in how it comes to TWRs defense. A worthwhile read, I think.
