There is an article in the current Popular Science magazine - May 2007, that indicates that a "new toxic-waste recycling process." will be tested in the United States of America.
Imagine my surprise when I continue to read the article and it is simply something the French have been doing for decades. This is basically using the nuclear waste produced in using nuclear power as a power source over and over again until at such point the fuel is completely spent and can be used no more.
During the process the amount of toxic radiation laden material is reduced and this reduces nuclear waste.
But this isn't a new process at least not on Earth. It might be new to the United States of America, but you know that is hardly surprising. We've been falling back on technology for the past 20 years or so, about the amount of time the French have been using this "new" process.
