Yeah. I'd note the need for a centralized fuel supplier, as you don't want hundreds of little municipal nuclear plants trying independently to dispose of the waste. Have a centralized "library" of nuclear fuel, where the plants "check out" the fuel and then turn it in when spent. The centralized authority can concentrate expertise on the issues of sourcing uranium, tracking where it is, then disposing of it safely. The small plants are then freed to focus on running the actual plant and providing reliable electricity to their cities.
