In the battle against climate change, nuclear = clean. I care about climate change an order of magnitude more than I do about nuclear waste disposal. Given this headline, as far as I’m concerned the ideal amount of nuclear in 2025 is 50%.

Gen-5 reactors that could be brought online in the 2030s, with sustained investment, could be closed cycle enough that waste may only need to be stored for a few hundred years. That’s short enough that we don’t need anything particularly special to store it.
