This would seem to be an impossible requirement. Evidenced in that we
still don't seem to have a 'solution'. Take 'politically' out and it
would be readily feasible.

As you wouldn't take our last discussion to a conclusion, I'll do it
now. The problem is not the technology. The problem is human. It may
eventually turn out that we are not capable of using nuclear
economically, but that will be because of the political nature of this
beast. Nuclear is a sound technology; from mining to disposal. It is the
perception that something is wrong with nuclear that has become the problem.
