From Wikipedia: "Nuclear reprocessing technology was developed to chemically separate and recover fissionable plutonium from irradiated nuclear fuel. 1 Reprocessing serves multiple purposes whose relative importance has changed over time. Originally reprocessing was used solely to extract plutonium for producing nuclear weapons. With the commercialization of nuclear power the reprocessed plutonium was recycled back into MOX nuclear fuel for thermal reactors. 2 The reprocessed uranium which constitutes the bulk of the spent fuel material can in principle also be re-used as fuel but that is only economic when uranium prices are high. Finally a breeder reactor is not restricted to using recycled plutonium and uranium. It can employ all the actinides closing the nuclear fuel cycle and potentially multiplying the energy extracted from natural uranium by about 60 times. 34 Nuclear reprocessing reduces the volume of high-level waste but by itself does not reduce radioactivity or heat generation and therefore does not eliminate the need for a geological waste repository. Reprocessing has been politically controversial because of the potential to contribute to nuclear proliferation the potential vulnerability to nuclear terrorism the political challenges of repository siting a problem that applies equally to direct disposal of spent fuel and because of its high cost compared to the once-through fuel cycle. 5 In the United States the Obama administration stepped back from President Bush's plans for commercial-scale reprocessing and reverted to a program focused on reprocessing-related scientific research. 6 Nuclear fuel reprocessing is performed routinely in Europe Russia and Japan."

Thus this legislation would address the regulation of buses farm equipment and all other commercial vehicles above 10000 gross vehicle weight. In the course of these hearings the committee will be particularly interested in analyzing the adequacy of the Federal regulation of the commercial motor vehicles and what if anything is necessary in order to strengthen these programs. The committee is also concerned about how Federal programs interact with State regulation of commercial motor vehicles and whether this relationship is operating smoothly and effectively. As part of this overall examination the committee will seek to determine whether the funding and manpower allocated to these programs is adequate to carry out these important functions. The committee will also focus on how priorities are set in the regulation of commercial vehicles and what method of initiating investigations of improper behavior in this area would be most effective. n examining these issues the committee is fortunate to be receiving testimony today from an extremely wide spectrum of witnesses drawn from the Federal Government State agencies private trucking organizations farm representatives and private experts.
