Should we somehow recycle it and get the remaining energy out of it?

Because there's still U-235 in there.

We could still utilize that energy.

That's a conversation.

But yeah, we should not let this idea of waste be a stopper for doing more nuclear.

I think for now, what we're doing is not terrible.

Just keep it where it is.

The US should decide on what are we going to do with this long term.

Is that one site where we can just store it?

Is it a couple sites?

And so we should continue looking for places to place it as a backstop.

But some of the recent executive orders talk about how should we think about recycling?

Are there ways to do better?

Recycling may not be as cost-effective as just going and mining and producing new fuel.

France does recycling and reprocessing, but the U.S.

doesn't.

So there's some economic argument there about what's the total cost of these different solutions.

So I think that's something we'll just, the industry's gonna be looking into for the next few years.

So we're just taking action now.

So really, the last couple of years, there's been the programs to, if you zoom out, there's fuel side and there's reactor side.
