    Transmutation is not new technology. It has always been too expensive to be used on an industrial level. I dont think that has changed. also by no means does it reduce the cost of dismantling and securing npp sites. Dont be fooled :/

      You seem to know stuff.

      Why don’t we take “depleted” fuel and use it in a low power atomic power plant? The rest radioactivity can be burned off just like their main radioactivity right?

      There should be a solution to burn them further down and generate electricity with it.

      Or do they lose the properties to burn them?

      Thanks
