Please do. We need renewables, yes, but we also need an almost-zero-pollutant power source that can be ramped up and down as needed when the sun isn’t shining

We need renewables, yes, but we also need an almost-zero-pollutant power source that can be ramped up and down as needed when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing.
And yes, modern non-breeder reactors produce very little significantly radioactive waste. That even trends to zero when you recycle those leftovers through Thorium reactors - the waste from those reactors is only mildly radioactive for a few hundred years.
Let’s have solar and wind and hydro (where possible) first, sure, but an extensive network of nuclear power plants must be our well-implemented backup plan.
