Since it uses nuclear waste as fuel, countries could actually Pay to have them take the fuel to use in their reactors.
Imagine if the government actually had brains.
Excerpt:
Their invention is called a Waste Annihilating Molten Salt Reactor.
It is a high temperature reactor which can consume the spent fuel left
over from conventional light-water reactors (LWRs). The Molten Salt
Reactor (MSR) is much more efficient at converting the uranium fuel into
energy than LWRs. An LWR can make use of about 3% of the potential
energy, whereas Transatomic suggest their MSR could utilize up to 98% of
the energy in the fuel.
As the name suggests, the fuel in and MSR
is liquid, which means that if a ‘meltdown’ starts to occur it is more
easily dealt with. The MSR has a reactor shaped like a bathtub with a
plug whole at the bottom. If anything goes wrong with the reaction, the
plug melts and the entire contents of the reactor core can drain into a
shielded underground container.

Intellect and government generally are as far apart as North pole and South pole.
