> Yes, waste is a concern which needs to be managed responsibly.

More than that: if I understand correctly, there are some newer designs which can take the waste of older plants, 'burn' it while extracting more energy, leaving a smaller amount of less-problematic waste at the end.

For that reason alone we should be building some of those newer plants. If (beyond burning through older plants' waste) they are safer, more efficient and/or have a 'nicer' fuel cycle of their own: bonus.

But for cost / climate etc: probably too little, too late. Renewables + storage will do the job. And later on, bring in fusion.

Fusion power is perpetually 50 years away. I'll believe it when I see it before I die.

I will say the same for replacing natural gas in the power grid with green hydrogen.

Green hydrogen is a myth invented by the petroleum industry.
