In short a few points:
- nuclear power is the safest form of energy production by far
- storing the waste is an easy problem (store on site and reuse later with better technologies), or just make glass cubes of it and dump in the ocean (yes really)!
- the high price of building nuclear power plants is in many ways the result of "nucular paranoia"
- non-military reactors (ie. all "western reactors") can't have the same failure modes as chernobyl had
