Line 22: ==Non-proliferation== By using spent nuclear waste and depleted uranium stockpiles as its fuel source, a large-scale deployment of the EM2 could reduce the long-term need for uranium enrichment and eliminate conventional nuclear reprocessing, which requires plutonium separation.<ref>{{cite news\|url=~~http~~https://spectrum.ieee.org/energy/nuclear/downsizing-nuclear-power-plants/\|title=7. "Downsizing Nuclear Power Plants – Modular designs rely on ‘economies of multiples’ to make small reactors pay off big," \|last=Fairley \|first=Peter \|date=May 11, 2010 \|work=[[IEEE Spectrum]]}}</ref> Conventional light water reactors require refueling every 18 months. EM2’s 30-year fuel cycle minimizes the need for fuel handling and reduces access to fuel material, thus reducing proliferation concerns.
