Re: OT: Gas Prices
Fast Neutron Reactor Wikipedia Link
It's fast-neutron reactors I was thinking about. I've included a link to get you started.
They are capable of 'burning' spent nuclear fuel from conventional thermal reactors, and rendering such spent fuel much less toxic at the same time.

It might have been the 'Integral Fast Reactor' actually. This is a specific type of 'fast neutron reactor' designed to completely use up the fuel and leave very little radioactive waste. The US project to develop this was in the news in the early nineties and that's where you might have heard of it.

Re: OT: Gas Prices
FYI,
over here one litre of gas (not diesel, lead-free) costs exactly 1,63 $ atm. You can see where your prices are going within the next months, should the iran-issue further escalate.

Re: OT: Gas Prices
Yes, but they don't need to do anything to make their populace consume a lot.
