Scientists in Las Vegas to consider recycling spent nuclear fuel

LAS VEGAS About 120 scientists from around the world are meeting in Las Vegas this week to consider ways to recycle spent nuclear fuel.

But event host Gary Cerefice says the feasibility of the process hasn't been shown yet at the engineering level.
