Question

The Integral Fast Reactor (IFR) program was shut down because
a. of the fear against nuclear waste (that could only lose their radioactivity to background level in ~800 years)
b. it was too expensive
c. there was no way to recycle the nuclear waste and use it as fuel in a reactor
d. there was no safe place to store the nuclear waste
e. the amount of nuclear waste is too large that it produces a safe issue

"Three MIles Isalnd" is usually referring to a Nuclear Generating Station near Middletown in Pennysylvania United States, which
a. was just a prototype of an Integral Fast Reactor (IFR) facility and cannot generate electricity to 
the power grid currently 
b. has an Integral Fast Reactor (IFR) facility 
c. was shut down due to public opinion and billions of dollars wasted since its shutdown 
d. has a three mile exclusion zone away from the power plant 
e. has a major nuclear meltdown in 1979
