I don't doubt that the technology works great. My concern is that the fully loaded lifecycle cost of spent nuclear fuel disposal/storage or reprocessing is not being taken into account when calculating dollars per megawatt-hour generated. This can be very costly and is frequently an economic externality of the cost to build and operate civilian nuclear power.

I really don't think north American nuclear waste costs can be estimated with any fixed ceiling to cost overruns, considering the expensive Fiascos that were WIPP and yucca mountain.

Yucca's issues were political though, a byproduct of democracy.
