Reprocessing for Plutonium

Powering Spacecraft

Recycling

Uses of Chemical Waste

The European Space Agency is piloting a £1 million program to use civil plutonium for nuclear batteries to power ships on deep space missions.

Nuclear fuel is around 2,000,000 times more energy dense than coal, oil, and biomass.

In terms of energy, reprocessing fuel for plutonium is rather efficient as it effectively uses fuel twice.
