In fast neutron reactors, developed by Argonne, fuel can be recycled many times. This would allow us to use 100% of the energy in the uranium we dig out of the ground, instead of 1% as we do today. This also reduces the radiotoxicity period of used nuclear fuel from 300,000 years to only 300.
Great lecture.
A question: "Could it be possible to recycle nuclear fuel more than twice?"
"If not, why is that the case?"
I think the hiccup is the TYPE of reprocessIng employed must change
