Pro-Nuclear

Most sources of renewable power are intermittent: Solar only provides power when it's sunny, wind when it's windy, etc. Nuclear is valuable because it can provide base load capacity to the grid at any time.

Question

Spent nuclear fuel rods are 96% recycleable through enrichment. The United States had banned this practice over nuclear weapon fears. Is the concern justified?
