Disposition of Spent Fuel - Separation option

[nikkkom]

What the French are doing, as I understood it, was nearly exactly what I have been proposing in the first place, and I made a remark to that effect at that time (remember?): keep the spent fuel and look after it intelligently until they need it.

Wrong again. That's not what French are doing. They do not defer reprocessing.

They reprocess spent fuel as soon as it is practical - after only ~5 years of cool-down.

Then that was my misunderstanding of what I read, justifiable or otherwise.

My assessment of what the French are doing if what you say here really is the case, degrades accordingly unless there are practical reasons for this practice, other than those so far asserted or discussed.
