I think it's a good thing. The only problem is what to do with the spent fuel. As soon as a storeage sites are constructed they get filled and no one wants a storeage facility in their back yard. |
Well, hopefully Batelle will fix that problem for all of us. Their glass rod storage is working OK, but they need to bring the costs down. THis is a minor problem compared to what coal fired plants do however.
