Coal plants emit more nuclear waste than nuclear reactors, but noone seems to mind because it doesn't have 'nuclear' in its name.

And with reprocessing of nuclear fuel, combined with modern reactor design, there is only ver little actual waste. But it won't matter because the greenpeace zealots fight against anything that uses nuclear fuel, regardless of facts. It's no different from any other fundamentalist mindset, except they don't blow up stuff.


Except that the nuclear waste lasts for thousands of years and can not be transported safely.
