I was just reading that the U.S. has a ban on recycling nuclear waste (proliferation concerns) while France and the U.K. and a few other nations commercialized recycling (Russia and others recycle for the military).

So apparently the politics behind Nevada is a bit more scewed.

Note that recycling appears to be a rather intensive process returning material that could be used for power production but is also not of superior quality.
