What to do?
If Yucca opens: use once through fuel cycle and store spent fuel in Yucca
If Yucca doesn’t open: continue what we do today, decade long spent fuel storage in pools, followed by above ground storage. Dry cask storage, if done right, could hold waste for up to an additional century.
Continue research if promising, but not development and demonstration, on reprocessing and fast reactors.
THERE IS NO RUSH TO REPROCESS!
