Yes, in terms of eventual ocean burial, as one option, I was assuming after reprocessing, burning in a fast breeder or Moltex, etc.

This thought might be more for additional existence proof right now.

+1 for Moltex.

I presented at the first thorium energy conference put on by Kirk Sorenson and it has been breathtaking to watch the focus shift away from thermal to fast and fluoride to chloride and now static fuels.

Moltex really looks like the one and it will be wonderful if Canada develops a world-beating nuclear technology like what they attempted with CANDU.
