We had it 40 years and we will have it the next N-Thousand years because of the waste they produce. Also, Nuclear-Power was massive subvention by the gov. Actually a business-case that can not exist without subvention. So we all paid it with the taxes and we still pay because of the nuclear-wast. The idea to build new nuclear-plants, is a new subvention-scam by some lobbyists or tech-giants who want to pass on their costs to the general public.

There has been some discussion about reprocessing and reusing it.

The reality is a deep geological repository[1] for high radioactive waste. And this is also necessary for reprocessing [2]. Reprocessing will only reduce the high level waste.
