  1. One issue is current once through fuel cycle only recovers a minor fraction (less than 5%) of the recoverable energy of the fuel. The long term deep storage you bring up sounds like a good solution for the waste after its been through a burner reactor. The waste species from a burner reactor can no longer be used for energy, and are quite long lived, toxic species of nuclides
