The hysteria after Three Mile Island was unwarranted.

Some newest and next gen plant designs can use spent fuel from previous gen plants eliminating most of that waste.

That the Greens/Left want everything electric to combat global warming but won't use nuclear to do it means that for us to survive on solar and wind alone you are not going to have air conditioning, no cars, and you will take public trans if you are one of the few that still actually have a job. Otherwise the math does not work.
