Pyroprocessing and PUREX are both super expensive. Below is an old reprocessing flow chart. What's yours look like right now? You focusing on and developing a new cheaper path is awesome and good for the future. We anxiously await the commercial demonstration including disposal costs of any larger-volume/lower radiation liquid and gaseous waste. Until it's proven at scale, I think we can all agree that typical policy should be to proceed with geologic disposal to unblock the number one complaint people still raise about nuclear.

Because it's about 4x more expensive to reprocess and refabricate fuel than it is to mine more fuel. Once uranium gets scarce reprocessing will make sense. Right now we have to focus on cost reductions, not cost increases.

A proposed supersite of AP1000s has just been announced in Appalachia. The Nuclear Company just revealed plans to build up to six Westinghouse AP1000s on a single site in Lewis County, Kentucky. If all six reactors get built, it would be the largest nuclear site ever developed in the U.S. If the reactors are built in pairs, this would be the closest America has come to copying China’s recipe for nuclear success. My team and I have spent the past year studying China’s nuclear program through Chinese primary sources, and there’s a clear pattern to their builds: - 6 reactors planned per site built two at a time; - Using a standard design they repeat over and over; - With the same crews moving from one pair to the next. Although a frozen reactor design is nice, nothing gets you more standardization than building on the same spot with the same team. The site appears to sit along a major 765 kV transmission line in the Ohio River corridor (not a coincidence, I'm sure). But a full 6.6 GW will almost certainly need grid upgrades including additional outbound transmission. This is a proposed project, not a done deal. And we're far enough out from Vogtle that building these reactors will require significant workforce training, standing up of supply chains, and coordination across many parties. But oh boy, would be massive if The Nuclear Company pulls this off.

Utah is now a leading contender for a Nuclear Lifecycle Innovation Campus and we need you. Do you have a vision for our energy future? Jobs, timelines, a real plan for permitting and safety? We want to see it. Link to RFI: utah.bonfirehub.com/opportun… #AnyOfTheAbove #UtahEnergy
