A. You lose the economic benefit of the plutonium, the spent fuel remains radioactive longer ... Since the cost of uranium ore is only 0.04 cents per kilowatt-hour, at the 2001 price of $9 per pound, even large increases in ore cost are affordable without increasing the cost of nuclear generated electricity significantly.
