Interesting..   I understand the basics of how a
nuclear power plant works, but have not spent much
time reading about the details like this.

Even if we had 100% of out electric power from
nuclear, what about the bulk of our energy needs for
transportation?  Can we run cars and trucks on
Nuclear?  Airplanes? 

Nuclear is more of an alternative to coal..  It does
not (yet) seem like a good replacement for Oil.

This I knew, but eventually you will run out of space
to store them.  And it is expensive, no?
