you have no plan for the waste (and didn't even acknowledge the very real radiation threat from runaway reactors, which has happened three times at global scale and countless other times at smaller scale) other than throwing out red herrings about exactly how many thousands of years the waste will remain a problem for the planet.

The biggest problem with all nukes is that they aren't needed, at least not until the current wave of AI nonsense. And even with AI, we can easily scale up our energy production using safe renewables, 100% known technology, at a lower cost than any fossil fuel or nuke installation.

If the fuel could be recovered and recycled as easily as you imply, surely we should have done so by now, rather than continuing these protracted NIMBY wars abut where to bury the waste. Can I assume you don't want the waste buried in your neighborhood, but you are fine with it being dumped in New Mexico or somewhere else far away?
