but it’s not true that “You can’t run a “recycling” program without also being able to make plutonium for bombs.” You need far more enrichment for weapons grade plutonium than you do for commercial fuel plutonium.
In fact, the more we use plutonium for fuel, the less nuclear waste there will be available to potentially be recycled into weapons grade plutonium in the future.

Just let the government do it then. All nuclear waste should/must be handled and recycled by the state.
