It would immediately make much more nuclear fuel available, as natural uranium is only 0.7% U-235. Handling of new fuel would become much more hazardous as precautions against unwanted criticality would become much stricter. I suspect that the uranium would have to be diluted with some admixture of an inert element, otherwise it would be too concentrated, the heat output per foot of fuel rod has to be limited to avoid damage to the cladding. It wouldn't change the main drawback which is the production of long lived active isotopes in the spent fuel.
But don't pursue this too far, we can't change the laws of physics!
