face=+Italic; A familiar argument against building new nuclear power plants in the U.S. is that there's no long-term solution to the used nuclear fuel storage problem.

The Global Nuclear Energy Partnership's announcement in February 2006 that it was reconsidering the reprocessing of used nuclear fuel represented a major shift in policy. It may even open the door to building new U.S. nuclear plants.face=-Italic;
