Well, from what (little, admittedly) i have read, it is the only means by which to produce the uranium to be used. you MUST, currently, have petrol to refine the uranium (and hydrogen, for that matter). I don't know if there is a POTENTIAL to not use it, but that has yet to be seen. And with 40 years left, how quickly do you think it can be rolled out...
