	There are two problems. Current technology can't handle the transmutation itself safely and current technology is pretty bad at the separation of products. Today the first problem still dominates. With today's nuclear technology (mainly boiling water reactors and some liquid metal) it is way too dangerous to use more then a tiny fraction of the nuclear fuel. Thus only this tiny fraction of the fuel get's used and all the rest still chock full of valuable enegry gets sealed and stashed away as the nuclear waste that nobody wants.		There are two problems.

			'''No GAU transmutation?'''

	Recently (2016) molten salt reactors (all that is unrelated to atomically precise technology) have been unearthed from almost forgotten nuclear research history to tackle the problem of doing transmutation without risking GAUs. Experts in this field say the industry has frozen technology to the boiling water type that was originally specifically intended for nuclear submarines.
