At present, says Dr Demkowicz, reactors burn only around 1% of their fuel, so even a modest increase in fuel burn would leave less radioactive waste.

Demkowicz博士称，现在核反应的燃料燃烧率仅为约1%，所以就算在燃烧率上提高不多，也会减少放射性废料的排放。

The fuel is abundant, the process safe and the waste, though radioactive, is far less noxious than the stuff left over from fission.

ECONOMIST: New materials for renewable energy

President George W. Bush approved Yucca Mountain as the site to store the U.S.'s spent fuel and high-level radioactive waste, but President Barack Obama cancelled work on the project in 2009.

While the report focuses more on finding long-term storage for radioactive waste, it also considered the reprocessing of such fuel.
