Nuclear report warns of apocalyptic scenario at Fukushima in weeks ahead. enenews.com

                My recent posts have been about breeder reactors which generate more fissile material than they consume. There is renewed global interest in breeder reactors for the production of nuclear fuel and the destruction of nuclear waste. I have been covering the history of United States breeder reactor research and development in the past several posts. My previous post told about how the some U.S. lost interest in breeder reactors in the 1980s.
