By volume blanket reprocessing and neutron activated vessel components create more hazardous waste than fission could dream of (not including the nightmare of on site fuel reprocessing for breeders that are similarly pie in the sky)
Hello. Sorry, I couldn't find an immediate source when I did a web search with the text you quoted. Do you have a source for it you could share, or recall when you saw it?
Thanks!
It's not a quote, just a reality for non-existent blanket recycling technology and dealing with neutron energies that far exceed anything fission produces in slow neutron reactors and the large amounts of waste created from spallation and tritium handling.
