I can't separate civilian & military. Nor past, present, future. Nor the fissile material and all the byproducts. Nor the gathering (mining) and the disposal (reburying) of same.

I'm strongly in favor of traveling wave reactors. We need more tools for reducing, mitigating our stockpiles.

When the Hanford Nuclear Reservation's contaminants in the water table reach the Columbia River, everything downstream dies.

For me, any discussion about new civilian nuclear is fullstop until all the other aspects are addressed. Meanwhile, we prop up the nuclear power we have during the transition to wind, solar.
