Light Water Reactors

If you have a small research reactor like the North Koreans do and it's a gas graphite reactor. You can't build a reprocessing plant to deal with light water reactors spent fuel without everybody in the universe knowing you're doing it. Think about what a light water reactor 1000 megawatt reactor looks like. It has fuel assemblies that weigh tons. And it has a big fuel machine, the reactor has to shut down. So no one's going to sneak off with the plutonium right because after the first couple years, then they've got him sitting in a spent fuel pool. The material has to be leached out. It's a messy chemical process. But think is what I
