Seeing is believing! It is also to be seen whether nuclear power is indeed the way ahead to solve humanity’s problems, banking on regenerative energy sources seems to be the more popular route in most countries. Probably because nuclear is NOT clean technology.

Check out the 4th gen liquid metal-cooled breeder reactors. Those designs virtually eliminate the long-term radioactive waste produced by older reactor designs.

None are commercial.

Since 2021 China have 1 commercial HTR-PM but it cannot be used to recycle nuclear fuel directly.
