I came across this looking up Israel's weapon systems.
it's the Nuclear Fuel cycle.

I like the idea of reprocessing the spent fuel rods with breeder reactor's and using it as a fuel again.
I think they place to much emphasis on the security risk form plutoniam after all the terrorist have most of the former soviet union and soon Iran to buy weapons grade material from.
At the very least the amount of radioactive waste we would have to deal with would drop by a large amount.
What's your view?
