Your funeral. Peak nonbreeder fissible is 2020, and there
are no safe, affordable breeders.

There are niche users, like producing process heat e.g.
for tar sands in Canada. But large-scale energy production
in the inner solar system, never. That ship has sailed.
Now the renewables are eating new nuclear for breakfast.
