Reuse of uranics

Background

We are interested in how the uranics could be reused for example, some of High Enriched Uranium has been exported in support of medical isotope production. We are also the stages that would be necessary to enable the reuse of our uranics and any constraints that would limit how much of the uranics inventory could be reused or how quickly it could be reused.
