Ron,

Recall that only a small fraction of the U in nuclear fuel is fissioned, and
the rest remains in fuel rods that are destined for gold-plated deep geologic
placement that is massively more containment and confinement than needed to
assure no adverse consequences to humans or the environment, as massive
greater cost than justified except to support a voracious bureaucracy and its
fundees. Your comments need to be considered in this light as well.  :-)
