I have heard various information about this subject; that the US is 
restricted from recycling most nuclear material; that France and Japan
recycle 90% or more, etc.  I would like to know the truth of the matter, 
its effect on the nuclear industry, the origin of the regulations and 
where I can get more information (links, books, etc.)  Thanks in advance 
for your help.
