In general, Uranium fission processes are relatively less nasty than the material mixed with decommissioned weapons grade Plutonium. You would need to model the probabilistic decay chains to figure out at which point the hot material is below inhalation hazard levels. "The reason that solar and wind haven't fallen victim to this is that they don't scale well enough" That is a dumb lie, these have already exceeded non-renewable facilities in many jurisdictions last year. While not perfect in every locale, I like distributed solar+battery as they are resilient to localized disasters. Note, many in TX and FL have already shifted over due to faster <8yr payoff periods (i.e. an 18 year service life means near $0/kWh for 10 years). Fission is a nonrenewable loss leader technology, and should be reserved for remote areas or space missions. =3
