"unrecycable nuclear waste France was producing in 2016" Yeah so nuclear waste is recycled in large part. See Mox. But I agree, I wish we'd use FNRs too. Too bad the Green party shut down the first reactor (SuperPhenix) in the 90s. "waste we can not store safely." Did you do your homework? See CIGEO.
