It's unsafe - there have been two meltdowns already, with hot material leaked. Ok the number of immediate deaths in those accidents are known, but how many slow deaths from cancers over years? How many cancer deaths here in Wales are from the Chernobyl blow-over that happened? How many are still occurring?
It's much more expensive than renewables. And there's still plenty of renewable potential to exploit.
Add up the energy input over the lifetime of spent fuel care. Still looking good? Or is it more borrowing which the future will be paying back, forever? Nuclear PFI.
Any civilisations that have lasted as long as spent fuel care and monitoring needs to be ongoing for? No, because the half life is 159,200 years.
Way to go is home generation, home hydrogen production and home batteries. Into a grid backed by renewables. Hey, even now the guy across the fields from me has a PV array and a home battery, no electric bills and he even does some heating from his system.
Finally, look at the political ghouls who are in favour of this technology...a bit like brexit, it is very easy to form an opinion based on its adherents.
