We shouldn't ignore waste or accident problems of course but it's always important to compare them to the alternatives. Given the problem of ocean accidification it's hard to see how replacing fossil fuel plants with nuclear isn't a net ocean environmental win. And replacing a coal power plant in china with a nuclear a nuclear plant you know is going to have a Fukushima meltdown in 30 years is still better for people and the environment. Or 10 "clean coal" power plants in the US with 10 nuclear plants of which 1 will melt down. Of course, it's far better for health and the environment if we can replace them with solar and batteries. But perspective on the dangers of nuclear compared to fossil fuels is important.
