True, but no other energy source has a mode of failure that makes swathes of land unusable for essentially forever.
But the main argument against nuclear is "organisational" so to speak.
For some reason nowadays the more liberal a country is, the less success it has in rolling out nuclear.
Perhaps it's the additional incentive of being able to reprocess waste for weapons that's so alluring.

The nuclear wasteland thing is largely a myth propagated by those who say that even natural background levels of radiation are deadly. Nevermind that there are places in the world (e.g. in Iran, Brazil, and India) with ~50x higher natural background with lots of people living there who are just fine. https://thoughtscapism.com/2019/05/08/what-about-radioactive-wastelands-a-look-at-chernobyls-effects-on-nature/ https://thoughtscapism.com/2019/05/08/what-about-radioactive...
