John K. Sutherland - 2004 May 19: The used once fuel from nuclear reactors can be resued to produce a lot more power.
Nuclear power reduces the risk of war by eliminating the need for conflict over scarce oil resources.
The used fuel produced by nuclear reactors is more than 95% uranium. This, along with the depleted uranium left behind by the enrichment process, can be used to produce more electricity. If this potential energy was fully reused we would get more than one hundred times as much energy for each kilogram of mined uranium. Throwing this material away as waste is not reasonable. It is more valuabel than gold.
