True. In Germany some politics are calling for reactivating reactors, but is the energy companies that don't see a future that makes it worth the effort. Regarding safety, here, we rather have a unsolved nuclear waste problem. While municipalities profited from the plants, nobody wants to have the waste. There are other regions in the world, that are probably better suited for disposal, but I think one would need to pay quite a high price for disposal that would again add more to the already high costs. I have nothing against research towards more sustainable reactor types, but one needs to be honest about life cycle costs and not hope for future generations to solve the disposal cost for both waste and the plants themselves.
