the major problem though is that, in the US at least (worse in Europe AFAIK)
people have this strange fear of nuclear power, and actually end up using
one of the worst possible reactor designs (U-235 burning light-water

in countries with a government too damn scared to make fuel reprocessors.

now, what if we had U-238 burning breeder reactors?...
well then, both cost, and waste, would be far lower than at present.

Agreed. The problem here is public impression that breeder reactors
are more open to terrorist theft of radioactives.
I don't see why; you can't just scoop up some Plutonium and pop it
into a bag.
