Sure, it's not ideal, and it would be great if economical recycling techniques are developed, but over their lifetime they produce a whole lot less emissions than most of the alternatives. If we're going to start counting CO2 emissions in the production of these things, surely every single energy generation technique looks pretty crummy as well. Btw: I really want SMR to succeed. A mix of solar, wind, SMRs, and a smart grid seems like a great way to go.
