Abstract
The need for development of fuel cycle technology to recover plutonium from spent reactor fuels is indicated; and the importance of plutonium as a virtually inexhaustible energy resource is stressed. Arguments against reprocessing are discussed, and the consequences of failure to make use of plutonium are outlined. (DDA)
