Total FUD arguments that crumble immediately.
Nuclear Waste is fully contained and tiny and there are zero peer reviewed articles suggesting that stored commercial waste has ever hurt anyone anywhere. No other energy source can say this. Fossil waste kills 4 million/yr and renewable waste is recycled in poor areas exposing people to heavy metals.
Accidents are not good and we shouldn't put tornado proof plants in tsunami zones. But nuclear is among the safest form of energy we know.

Cost is fine when you standardize a plant and build lots. See France and Korea. We built 20 GW/yr before and we can do it again. It's extremely fast low-carbon energy.
