Nuclear waste storage hasn't killed anyone YET precisely because it is stored on site, which is a temporary solution. When it is shipped to a permanent repository, IF it ever is, would you like it shipped on Route 1 or the Parkway by your house? Or by train? Or by magic unicorn?

Even worse if we start using it for all the magical applications you've read about in your thousands of papers. Because scientists, especially those working with/for industry, have never jeopardized the public before right?

My computer is powered by nuclear too, most likely since 80% of the generation in my region comes from three aging outdated plants, but that doesn't give my arguments any more authority than it does yours.

You should think about reading some rhetoric and public writing books and give the nuclear chemistry a break.
