* fissile waste that lasts centuries (or more) * potential for meltdown or other accidental release of radiation * major military target, a threat not just for loss of generation but for deliberate release of radiation (by attacker)
Better than waste from carbon based power which can't even be contained in the short run.
> potential for meltdown or other accidental release of radiation
Releases less radiation than coal plants
> major military target, a threat not just for loss of generation but for deliberate release of radiation (by attacker)
If an attacker wants to release radiation they can just do it directly wherever they want instead of being limited by where a power plant is.
