Indeed the regulatory climate is missing to put the costs of handling nuclear waste onto the producers. I doubt it would be economically viable to operate a nuclear plant if those costs were fully factored in.

What about factoring in costs of handing carbon waste onto fossil industry or costs of having no power due to weather onto renewables?

Each power source has disadvantages, and this bickering isn't helping.
