I'm very happy with the safety of nuclear reactors. I'm somewhat more sceptical of human nature, and the greed factor, when it comes to the proper disposal of nuclear waste. I get there are regs for that too - but our track-record for following regulations when it comes to waste disposal generally has not filled me with confidence. Costs incurred after the profit has been earned, (aka "cleaning up") are too easily avoided with a simple bankruptcy- and too easily corners are cut to just "make it go away". IMO cleaning-up costs should be paid for first, not last. Ie the govt should assume they'll be stuck with the cleaning bill, and should extract that during production.
