I just read that. It says that the waste materials toxicity would be reduced to "only" a few hundred years instead of 100,000 years.

How does that change the fact that all that waste is leaking into the water supplies?

Also, none of those reactors is even in a planning stage to be built. All we have in the U.S. (because of environmental "concerns" stopping new ones from being built) are ancient 40+ year old nuclear power plants.
