  In this paper, we addressed the problem of choosing a nuclear fuel cycle.
Ethical problems related to the choice of a nuclear fuel cycle, such as the
depletion of natural uranium reserves, the accumulation of nuclear waste, and
the connection with the problems of nonidentity and distributive justice are
considered. We examined cultural differences in attitudes toward nuclear safety
and the associated ambiguities in the choice of a nuclear fuel cycle. We
suggested that the reduction in consumption of natural uranium does not seem to
be a feasible way of reducing nuclear waste because of the nonidentity problem.
