Mostly right but for the wrong reasons. Fission is on the way out as a widespread commercial scale power source buts that’s got everything to do with politics and economic up front costs and uncertainty of future electricity prices. The waste problem is only intractable because the politics are intractable, the technology part is not an issue. Political incentives simply are not set up to make it realistic for politicians to tackle the waste. Unless suddenly society becomes entirely populated by ultra rationalist super well educated people, there is no changing this current state.
