France Uses Less than 1 Percent of the Natural Uranium Resource, Has Higher Waste Volume; Reprocessing Still Requires a Repository and Increases Costs, Proliferation Risks WASHINGTON, April 8 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Contrary to some prevailing opinion, reprocessing would not eliminate the need for a deep geologic disposal program to replace Yucca Mountain. It aggravates waste, proliferation, and cost problems. The volume of waste to be disposed of in deep geologic repository is increased about six times on a life-cycle basis in the French approach compared to the once-through no-reprocessing approach of the United States.

The objective for each of these early tests was simply to determine if a ballistic missile target could be destroyed by a new interceptor, the SM-3, fired and guided by a ship at sea using hit-to-kill technology. Because they were the first tests using prototype interceptors complex, expensive mock warheads were not used in the tests. Since 2002, a total of 19 SM-3 missiles have been fired in 16 different test events resulting in 16 intercepts against threatrepresentative full-size and more challenging subscale unitary and full-size targets with separating warheads.

The nuclear renaissance is indeed a reality within the United States today. This is apparent from the number of nuclear plant construction applications and new uranium mining applications filed with or expected by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, as well as the major merger-and-acquisitions activity within the nuclear industry. This renaissance stems from such factors as concern over global warming, nuclear energy's advantages over competitor fuels, a significant increase in public and governmental support, major scientific and technological developments, and the financial community's increasing interest in nuclear energy. But, a number of factors could still undermine the success of nuclear energy - such as workforce and component manufacturing constraints, the recent "Wall Street me...
