nuclear waste issue has been mostly solved. just the narrative and lack of political & investment interest holding it back.

i'm just going by memory, but do look into it for yourself:

thorium reactors, molten salt reactors, small modular reactors... all that technology is largely ready to go. very safe, meltdown safeguards built-in. thorium & some uranium can be recycled back into more energy-generation up to a point where the resultant waste is miniscule & can be disposed of as bricks. radioactive sludge waste products not so relevant anymore.
