[ RadSafe ] Cancer II

[Ted de Castro]

There's a book out there for the super green recycling cult called 
"cradle to cradle":

http://www.mcdonough.com/cradle_to_cradle.htm

I was sent a copy from the head of the state recycling program in my state.

It rejects the rad industry as fundamentally flawed because the waste 
steam is inherently non-recyclable ---- HOWEVER --- if you read the book 
and what they define as the ideal recyclable - spent fuel is EXACTLY 
it!  Far and away more recyclable than anything else.  After all - what 
else can you recycle back to its original purpose (energy) and get MORE 
than you started with?  Its also easier to recycle than to process from 
raw materials.

But then that's merely rational and logical and what does rationality 
and logic have to do with politically correct?
