Thanks.  Informative as always.  Although I feel like we've gotten to the top of the mountain, and 30 years is a LONG time for technical innovation that I think will solve the engineering challenges.  At least, seems like it's no longer "if" but "when".

Also, not sure of the half-life but the radioactive waste is low-level.  Still creates challenges on cost and durability, but hopefully a different game now that the idea is more than just a theory.
