Mosey is correct in saying that Paducah is a "shuttered" facility but I think the may be reading too much into the statement.
A reference to US shuttered facilities is
HERE
The important part is:
"Several US nuclear power plants closed well before their design lifetimes, due to successful campaigns by anti-nuclear activist groups.[55] These include Rancho Seco in 1989 in California and Trojan in 1992 in Oregon. Humboldt Bay in California closed in 1976, 13 years after geologists discovered it was built on the Little Salmon Fault. Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant was completed but never operated commercially as an authorized Emergency Evacuation Plan could not be agreed on due to the political climate after the Three Mile Island accident and Chernobyl disaster. The last permanent closure of a US nuclear power plant was in 1997.[56] "
The Oklo reactor uses spent nuclear fuel which has been used in reactors rather than "clean" nuclear fuel which would be produced by the PLEF (albeit from tailing which are currently waste) - see
HERE . Whilst Moosey is correct in saying that the US uses a "once through nuclear cycle" and does not currently separate nuclear waste - it has done so in the past and does have stockpiles (at INL and other places) of separated nuclear waste.

You are a person of many twists and turns Zog, others here cannot forget surely, when you argued the exact opposite when GLE were going to re enrich UNF, you kept saying NOT IN THE US, and you were right back then, but the PRISM wasn't designed for US sales, it was being developed for UK sales, to help them rid themselves of all of the Plutonium they have stockpiled and in storage.
