And how can we just ignore the waste problem? [1] In many cases, containment pools are full to the brim with spent rods [2], which is both environmentally hazardous, & a target for terrorists (dirty bombs)

We can ignore the waste problem because nuclear fails even if we do so.

The waste problem is real, and if the nuclear shills can demonstrate that there can exist a nuclear reactor that can compete with solar+storage in winter at 45 degrees north economically then we can bother talking about it.

Until then we dismiss them along with every other technology that does not meaningfully exist.
