  Here Rod Adams tells us that reactor fuel will need to be reprocessed
into its constituent elements.

  I guess Rod Adams does want to give Iraq and Iran nuclear weapons.

  Others rabid proponents of nuclear power have argued that LWReactors
can not be used to make plutonium.  Others have argued that separating
the plutonium can not be done without detection.

  Rod Adams makes it clear that not only is plutonium produced by
LWReactors, but that the separation of plutonium from waste fuel will be
(and in fact is), part of the process.

  It should now be clear to all that the statements of those who objected
to my claim that spreading reactor technology will greatly increase the
rate of nuclear weapons proliferation, were no more than hogwash.
