Reprocessing nuclear waste (from Light Water Reactors) with MSR
Reprocessing nuclear waste much simpler if we separate uranium via fluoride volatility, then use it in Molten Salt Reactors. The fission products would then be safe in few years.

Can’t we have nuclear waste that will mostly die away in 50 years? Yes, we already know how!
Comments on good Washington Post article about LFTR (but sloppy about specifying whether talking about solid-fuel or molten-fuel reactors).
Excellent sources of information about liquid fluoride thorium reactors
Maybe instead of spending billions on cleaning up radioactive waste, spend some of that on developing reactors that leave less than 1% of the waste? Molten Salt Reactors can Fission LWR waste.
