I think you should say that U235 is a very linited and soon to be uneconomical fuel.
Also, running on Plutonium requires an authoritarian state. It also would mean massive releases of radioactive Argon, Neon, and Tritium which will be dispersed throughout the world.
The metal stream will ultimately become contaminated with radioactivity.
Even now, almost as much electricity is used to process Uranium as is generated by the power plant. By any rational accounting system, nuclear electricity is even now uneconomical. Only the tax system and DOE fuel processing keeps it afloat.
