[ RadSafe ] Reprocessing

[Mercado, Don]

I have a question on spent fuel reprocessing. What will it take to get
spent fuel recycling started? Can it be done in the U.S. in spite of J.
Carter's ban? Would JC's Presidential decree have to be reversed and
what does it take to do that? Has a Presidential decree been reversed
before while that President was still alive? Could we hire France or
some other country to reprocess it for us while that process moves
forward?

Just some speculation while waiting for some return phone calls. :^)
