all good points but this is all really comparable to fantasy? I think it would be great if we did something worthwhile with all the energy trapped in navy fuel.  Hell I would think it would over 80% enriched after used....but not sure.  If any fuel was reprocessed Navy Fuel would be a good bet to make it worth while.

these debates are rarely about what one can do,...

or even what one should do,...

they tend to be about what one is allowed to do,...
