the political realities are that there is almost no chance of a new fast breeder programme in the foreseeable future

That's so funny ...

LevinK:

Nick is simply stating a political truth for the British environment.

Insulting him doesn't change the truth of his message.

Fast breeder reactors are NOT coming back here in the UK anytime soon.

If "soon" means 20 to 30 years I agree. I just pointed out that arguing against the long term feasibility of a technology on political grounds, which change from the morning to the afternoon is a ridiculous thing to do. Anyway in this 20-30 years timeframe there is no pressing need to develop breeders - uranium supplies will be more then sufficient.
