Yeah. Great news. Still I think we should work for Thorium which we have so much in abundance.

Plus the are hoping the yield might be much larger. Would make it a mother lode. Hope our government utilizes this resource to full potential and not loose it in bureaucratic red-tape and corporate exploitations.

I think Thorium is the better fuel- Breeder Reactors produce much less waste.

@ico: Yes, but further research is the way to go.

We should also work on nuclear fusion reactors and find a viable alternative to fission.

Hydrogen fuel is also a good option.
