GE-Hitachi PRISM plants could, if they were to fission all the plutonium currently stored at Sellafield, meet all of the UK energy needs for the next 100 years.

Recently GE-HItachi pulled out of the SILEX based consortium for uranium enrichment. If PRISM is adopted, not just at Sellafield but at other nations with Pu stockpiles then the need for uranium could be dramatically curbed. This would be a long term effect because uranium based plants that have been producing the Pu would, of course, continue to operate. The PRISM plants do not even need to be as economical as the uranium plants because they will be addressing the need to deal with the Pu stockpiles and their power generation can be seen as a by-product of the reprocessing.
