My biggest problems with nuclear is the waste, which sticks around for ages and no one wants to bury it near their place. And the potential of catastrophe when it's in incompetent hands.

If you use a different nuclear cycle you can burn almost all the waste products. The US and former USSR optimized for plutonium production, which requires a cycle that creates more radioactive waste.
