There's no evidence or reality to "nuclear is coming back". Some politicians talk a big talk, that's all. Nor did or do I say it's not going to happen, but in most of the developed/semi-developed world except China it's currently definitely not happening. Just another nuclear fanboy fantasy ignoring reality.
You know who cares about dirty bombs? Every intelligence agency and counter terrorism unit in the world. So far it hasn't happened, but if nuclear power is scaled up, this stuff will be way more accessible. A lot like the gun violence problem in the US, but I guess the denialism around those topics is similar.
I personally care most about the closest nuclear facilities, not so much those in China. And in reality, neither Tschernobyl nor Fukushima have been cleaned up yet and continue to be a problem to be felt financially at the very least. I know quite a bit about it, but some people apparently think it's only bad if you die instantly... But it certainly makes some weak arguments easier, doesn't it? Who cares about people losing decades of their life...
