    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

      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.
