Progressives urge Obama to invest in fast reactors to recycle nuclear "waste"

Is the Progressive Policy Institute signalling an Interest by Obama in making greater use of nuclear power? 

A November 7 press release, the PPI specifically urges in the headline that “Dealing with Nuclear Waste; America Must Emulate France’s Model of Reprocessing Waste into Usable Energy”.

The press release describes the latest in the PPI’s (PPI) Memos to the Next President series, “America’s Nuclear Waste and What to Do with It,” a study by Bill Magwood, Principal of Advanced Energy Strategies, and Mark Ribbing, PPI Director of Policy Development.  The study calls on the next president to “begin investing in options that can reduce and recycle nuclear waste, noting that benefits of nuclear energy are often outweighed by concerns over the waste produced”.
