Do not mistake technical viability with economic viability.
The 1st Breeder reactor went into service in 1962, there have been many after and they have all meet the same fate.
Yes, they can breed their own fuel but the total cost of doing it is wildly prohibitive.
You can get gold/uranium/lithium from Ocean water, try and do it at a price people will actually pay for it. You can get minerals from space, so long as the market rate of $10 million a ton is viable... etc.
As always, if I get proven wrong - that will be a great day!
