Revert of 24 April 2007 I reverted for several reasons First the text was taken directly from the reference that was added without quotations Second the reference is really borderline on being a reputable source Third saying that the 1972 West Valley shutdown had anything to do with President Carter s 1977 decision seems like patent nonsense if it s not there should be better sources Fourth the obvious intent of GNEP is to do the reprocessing overseas there s never been a ban on that that I m aware of only on reprocessing of civilian spent nuclear fuel inside the U S There may be valid points here get a better source to back up the allegations made in this one
