"And perhaps they'll be something more than vaporware. Someday."
Did you go back in time and post that prior to the 1956 when the first commercial breeder reactor was built? I do admit, it wan't until 1963 until it came in to operation and 1966 it was closed down due to a loose piece of zirconium.

Hmm, yeah, if only we could invent reactors that could re-use the spent fuel. I'd call them "breeder reactors" as it sounds catchy.
Or perhaps we could design something totally different, and call it a "traveling wave reactor" or something cool sounding like that.
Or perhaps I'll just rely on technology improving, I'd call that "the future" and perhaps "the future" will find a better way to handle the waste, considering that in the last 10 years alone we've started re-using spent fuel from old reactors to power newer ones.
Or perhaps I'll just keep educating myself about nuclear energy by reading newspaper headlines.
Yeah, last option sounds easiest...
