Waste is a side issue. It just doesn't matter, so there is no point in even talking about it, never mind minimizing it.

The real issue is that, at least in the US, nukes cost overwhelmingly more than any other energy source, take 10+ years to build with no power output in the meantime, frequently consume billions of dollars without ever being completed, and (if ever put into production) develop leaks. They just don't make sense when considering the current alternatives.

Solar and wind installations start producing power almost immediately, and can be continuously added onto while operating, with only the most minimal of site preparation.
