Right or not quite right, "spent nuclear fuel" is what everyone calls it, whether it is eventually reprocessed or not. Trying to change the name isn't going to change anyone's mind and will only serve to confuse. Looks like a bit of wheel-spinning.. ********************************************* August 18, 2003 Davis, CA
Continuing to use misleading and technically incorrect terminology ("spent fuel") that puts useful fissile fuel into the category of nuclear waste has misled Congress, news reporters, and most of the pubic.
