    I hate the term clean energy for nuclear ! It is not clean energy ! Where do you put the waste ? If it’s so clean I guess you dont mind if we use YOUR backyard to put the waste ?

      The don’t ever say clean anything ever again.

      Manufacturing ANYTHING generates waste. By this logic nothing is clean.

      Dig a big enough hole, build a proper structure for containing it, and implement the proper containment procedures and sure, my backyard is fine.

      Yes, a few tons of high level nuclear waste from every reactor ever made each year is comparable to covering an entire farm for old windmill blades and burnt out solar panels aren’t comparable. Especially since nuclear waste can easily be recycled into new fuel while supposed “green energy” waste can’t.
