There is nothing clean about nuclear fission. You cannot ignore the waste, which no one has figured out how to deal with it. It's piling up in tons with no solution.

Nuclear waste is much easier to deal with than carbon waste, actually. There's just so much carbon waste and it goes up in the air.

Do tell. I'm looking forward to learning how you would deal with nuclear waste.

The most obvious way is to bury it deep underground. The next best way is just to store it for now. Either way it's not that big of a deal to manage, because there just isn't that much of it.
